As an artist, who is also a student, I treat every day as a new learning experience. There is no such thing as boredom when you are working on something new.As an Indigenous, two-spirit, queer person, I have a story to tell. Big story, small story. I share my interests and perspective on life that most would not know. The good and the bad.With my mediums in 2D, it provides me the flexibility to share my story in many different ways. From gouache to color pencils to markers to printmaking to digital art, it makes me the happiest. Illustrations that I create by my hands can provide a sense of relatability and whimsy.As a BFA student entering senior year, this is the time for me to explore, learn, try, and research all of the possibilities. Taking the time to slow down and breathe. Enjoy it all.
