Artist Statement

As a BFA student, I am working on improving my fundamentals, increasing creativity, and pushing myself out of my comfort zone through exploration. After struggling through an intense burnout, my energy levels have been improving as I continue creating. I have grown my skills in both traditional and digital mediums through school to give myself more opportunity in the art world and communities.With a newfound purpose, I have goals to become a Children's Book Illustrator and/or Art Professor. These goals in mind will help me keep track of what strategies to work on and finding new art opportunities.My meaning and art style will come eventually, for now, I am on the path to create!
