About Me

Art has been my passion since my youth. Growing up as an only child in a quiet rural town, I certainly had a lot of time on my hands. Alongside watching Spongebob and eating Fritos and Beandip, I would gather my art supplies and draw for hours. From doodles of flowers and stick figures to following my first Bob Ross tutorial, I had found something that I was obsessed over. My mom, Crystal, who has always been my biggest supporter, helped spread the word about my art and how I wanted to take it to the next level. At the age of 13, I had started doing commissions for family members and close friends. From there, I utilized social media to start contributing to community service projects in town. Eagle Nest Rock and the American Legion Post 111's booth sign in Woodstock, CT are examples. I am eternally grateful for the endless support I have gotten throughout my journey so far, and I am currently looking to give back to my community through my art in any way I can!

I am currently a junior undergraduate student at the University of Hartford, working towards my BFA in Illustration while minoring in Painting. These past two years, I have learned not only countless new techniques and skills to utilize, but I've learned a lot about myself as well. I have recently discovered an interest in technology, specifically Artificial Intelligence and its impact on artists and neighboring fields. I am curious to see where this technology takes me, and I am learning to embrace it and use it as inspiration for my current art!

As of now, my dream as an artist is to discover something new and exciting that I can make a living off of. In today's age, coming up with new ideas can be difficult and intimidating, which is why I think I can harness the new technology of AI to make a new art style! Until I find this, however, I am focusing my efforts towards learning new skills that compliment my creative eye, such as 3D-modeling, technical illustration, and Graphic Design.
