CLARKSVILLE, TN – Austin Peay State University (APSU) alumna Kaylie Fairclough regularly shares her artwork on social media, but she recently found a new platform when The New York Times commissioned her to create four illustrations for a widely read opinion piece. “To be published in the New York Times is like a dream come true for me, and I would love to be able to get into more publications. She said the Times reached out to her in February after seeing samples of her work on Reddit. “When the piece came up about the vacancies in office buildings, they contacted me … I did four different illustrations, and I started out by looking at lots of pictures on the internet. We’d hang out, express ideas to each other and collaborate, and it was just a really good space for growing.”
