ARTIST PROFILE
In 2016 I finished high school, and I feel as though I am ready to work my way into the art world, in some form or another. My passion for artmaking has existed throughout the entirety of my 19 years alive, in various forms – drawing, painting, collage, digital art and even animation. I love progressing my style further and further, experimenting with diverse mediums, subject matters and materials. My main focus is portraiture, as I find people to be highly fascinating, and I love to capture the essence of an individual through selected artistic choices.
