My love for art began at a young age. Some of my fondest memories are of weekends spent with my grandfather—we’d head to the local store, pick up simple art supplies, and spend the day doodling while listening to Elvis. Those early moments sparked a deep appreciation for creativity that has stayed with me ever since.

Throughout school, I joined every art club I could and devoted nearly all my free time to painting, sketching, and exploring anything remotely creative. After college, I realized that art wasn’t just a hobby—it was something I wanted to pursue full time. Now, I’m taking steps to make that dream a reality.
