About
I am an Art major who is about to graduate with a Bachelor's Degree next fall. I currently have my Associates Degree in Liberal Arts, and I am following my passion and love for art. Painting is my emphasis, and I enjoy putting my own animated style into my work. I have dedicated my time to mastering skin tone, and I will be completing an eight part series in the next month. I take pictures of myself and the people and animals who are important to me. After I have acquired my subjects, I paint realistic proportions, skin tones, and shading. For the final step I add lines around the people in the painting to make them look more animated.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I intend to use my knowledge to hopefully direct an art gallery, or teach people different types of art informally. I did not have any help when I started my path in the art field, and I would love to give people an opportunity I didn't have. I want people to have the experience of a teacher who wants them to keep trying.
- Graduate school interests
I am currently looking into a possible Master's or Doctoral Degree in Art/ Fine Art.
- Outside the classroom
I love to paint, crochet, create sculptures, throw on the pottery wheel, draw, read, write, dance, sing, and cosplay.
