When I was younger, I watched my mom create huge art installations, sculptures, and more. I was inspired.
As I grew, I started to experiment with my style. I found that expression came easily when painting, drawing, or collaging.
My 11th grade year I earned mention in the Scholastic competition. It was amazing to see my work up at the Cleveland Institute of Art. Creating artwork has been an anchor for me , to say the least.
