"Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." - Hannah Arendt 

My life has been shaped by my artistic passion. It drives almost every decision I make, which is why I have chosen a career in the arts. My story started with a fascination for drawing that developed into a commitment to excellence within the arts. Throughout high school, I began to truly discover my talent and skill as an artist, particularly in drawing and portraiture. This sparked a fascination with realism and hyperrealism. Subsequently, after high school, I made it my mission to master the art of hyperrealistic drawing.

The attention to detail required by realistic drawing has taught me to be scrupulous in every project I endeavor to conquer. Through the advice of counsel, after three years in college, I changed my major from Studio Art to Graphic Design. This decision broadened my abilities beyond what I could have ever thought possible. After taking many of my design classes, I realized my niche in the art world could be a unique merging of my fine arts background with my newfound skills in graphic design. My passion expanded beyond the fine arts to illustration, story boarding, book design, layout design, typography, photojournalism, and digital storytelling.

"What sorrow for those who say
    that evil is good and good is evil,
that dark is light and light is dark,
    that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter."                        

- Isaiah 5:20
