Being an artist is about seeing the world in its natural state and generating an emotional connection through a quick glance of the eye of some object or objects in that natural state...then being able to translate that glance to a surface with a medium so the viewer can see what you see in that connection. I began my artist's journey by devoting my first year of study learning to draw with graphite and charcoal and began painting in 2020. I have studied in workshops and studios with artists such as Juliette Aristides, Paul Rosiak, Jaya King, Todd Casey, and Salvatore Victor. I have been exhibiting my art since 2021 in museums and galleries.
