I was born in Hawaii, but I grew up in the state of Oregon where my love of art began around the age of 6. My mom, a cosmetologist/photographer, taught me to see the beauty within every person or image. My love for the arts grew deep throughout my childhood as I taught myself different techniques, by experimenting with multi mediums.
My family moved to Alaska when I was 13, and an entirely new outlook on art blossomed inside me. The excitement of a new state away from the small town I was from inspired my creativity in a whole new way. Much of my personal art is inspired by my love of folklore and images I envision through reading or my own imagination of the unseen. I love to recreate pieces that reflect my perception through detailed descriptions.
In 2017 at Colony Middle School, I was chosen to be inducted into the State of Alaska’s first National Junior Art Honor Society, where I was able to display my art and be a part of other community service art projects. Now as a sophomore at Colony High School, I hold a 4.4GPA as a student athlete.
I have grown and excelled my art style through several classes including AP Art, 2D, and 3D multi medias. My favorite being watercolor and micron pens. I enjoy making digital art and vinyl stickers on my iPad Pro, but my passion is creating art on paper or canvas.
My future in the art industry continues to excite me with my newest opportunity in becoming The Peoples Paper and Make A Scene Magazine’s newest traditional/digital artist team member! Be on the lookout for my work to be featured throughout the Valley as I continue to pursue this career. My dream is to one day become a professional multimedia artist and animator and share my creative visions with the world.
