Artist Statement

I have been interested in art my entire life since I was the youngest in a family of six where all of us were very creative. I got into painting with acrylic and watercolour at a young age and I started taking art classes when I started high school, I started to get recognized by my teachers and was given the opportunity to paint a mural in the school’s library. When I entered grade eleven I was given the opportunity to work with the school’s graphic design program and this is when my love of digital artwork and computers. I am becoming more and more proud of my artwork and I hope to be expanding my body of work in the near future.
