A heart that has always been set on the world of imagination, my journey began as far back as I can remember. Art, singing, music, acting, and so much more. I've always found myself gravitating towards the arts in any form in any situation. Growing up in Southern California I was surrounded by endless opportunity. California being popular for its arts in all forms. 

It started in pre-school with some crayons and paper. advancing beyond that and extending my creativity into MS-paint on windows and paint on Mac. Digital Art is what peaked my creative interests. The endless pages of characters, and creating dramatic and intense art never tired me out. While I was doing digital art I explored different techniques and taught myself how to play around with colors, perspectives, anatomy, figure drawing, turn arounds, and even playing with 3D tools and sculpting. I was absolutely certain this is where I wanted to be, in animation and character design. I focused the majority of my time though 16-18 years of age creating characters, making stories, and building worlds digitally. I was comfortable with that and didn't want to expand my skills anywhere else.

As I was going into my senior year of high-school in 2017 I went into AP art-studio and this class, as much as I dreaded it, has opened my mind to things beyond what my tablet and laptop can do. My teacher had pushed me to my limits in exploring other medias. This was because Digital Media at the time wasn't looked at respectfully.  It was difficult and I struggled exploring in those other areas. I was suborned to listen and was set on making my Concentration in Digital Media. I've created and titled my portfolio Beauty In The Beasts. creating detailed digital drawings of predacious animals with beautiful vibrant flowers emerging and pushing its way out of their bodies. Although I didn't like to be pushed outside my comfort zone I found that working with watercolors was something that I really enjoyed. I started to create artwork with watercolors, and started to really put that media into personal projects.

During that year(2017)mental health was a struggle especially while I was adjusting to the move from California into North Carolina. Unfortunately I haven't recovered much of my art the year of 2017. This was because as a artist that struggled mentally, I didn't value my artwork and had either thrown them out or deleted my projects. In college my mental health was starting to get better, and I had learned to love my work and see value in all of it. Art hold memories and its encouraging to see the progress through out those years. rather than seeing it as something I'll never be proud of I will see it as something that will encourage me to push myself to explore different mediums more and even myself.
In that encouragement, I joined a certificate program for Game design at CPCC; since my heart was still set on animating and character design. I stuck with my digital media and continued to design characters, maps, and worlds. I created stories and comics for this course, even programed and worked with great people and learned so much.
Under the pressure of College and getting my first job I dropped out and decided to work and focus of saving up money to move out. At this time I put my studies on game design aside and went back to drawing for myself and others online. Covid had eventually came by and I had moved to Waxhaw NC where my journey in Acrylic Painting had begun. I went to college and took non-credit courses in the evening on acrylic painting and had learned many techniques and learned how to put my imagination onto a canvas. My teacher Raed AlRawi has put so much support onto me and had really made me feel much more value in my work and had inspired me to continue painting in the style I had sculpted with my hand and brush. Thanks to artist Raeds teaching and my mother for bringing me into his class, I've found a path in Painting and fine arts that I never thought id see myself going into. I continue to create beautiful paintings that will move the way my heart does for Art.
