General Biography

            I feel as if I was born with a pen in my hand. My fingers have always been working busily, my mind always creating. Gripping crayons too tightly and smearing them into the walls as a toddler, aggressively scribbling my frustrations down on any surface I could get a hold of. My world on display in an array of colors. It is a special type of energy that only possesses me when I’m in a moment of artistic frenzy.  An energy that has followed me my entire life and guided me through my darkest times. As I grew up, I fell into a period of dwindled emotional health. I was riddled with anxiety and some depressive tendencies and seemed to just slip further and further from happiness. The only thing that was consistent for me during this time, was my ability to create. My artwork allowed for me to express the things I couldn’t understand and was a guiding light for me out of the dark.

For years I have dedicated my artwork to symbolic storytelling, trying to create awareness regarding psychological well-being. To continue down this path, I will be applying for an arts business program at my school, and plan on dedicating my time spent in this program to design a product to aid in College student suicide prevention, and mental health awareness through arts. I know that this subject seems dark and at times frightening, but I believe that through the power of artistic expression a new type of advocacy can be spread. I want to dedicate my art to create a visual outreach and continuing this route in my education is an excellent beginning step for my career path. 

More than anything in the world, I want to spread the power of arts and expression. To create out reach and community through an artistic journey. This hunger I have for learning about the arts can never really be satisfied, and I am prepared to spend my life dedicated to it.
