Bio

 Art has been a major part of my life forever. Being a reserved individual, I used visual arts to tell people about myself and my personality. In the beginning, I drew things that fascinated me: animals, cartoons, and characters from my favorite novels. Eventually, my interests shifted to realistic studies of animals, objects, and people. I grew enamored with the idea of making something look three-dimensional on a sheet of paper. By high school, my style shifted back and forth from realistic to cartoon-like, and I started exploring different media—charcoal, watercolor, ink, and digital software. Now, I am attending Columbus State University for my BFA with a focus on drawing. I create illustrations and characters ranging from fantastical to a slice-of-life atmosphere. My goal is to create images with a sense of immersion that breathes life despite being two-dimensional.
