ARTISTS BIO
I started drawing after I saw my mom do it. She was talking on the phone and could effortlessly draw these flowers that connected with one line. It was mesmerizing. My interest in digital art didn't start until I started to see artwork being done on an iPad. I especially liked watching mandalas be drawn. I haven't really practiced many mediums of art consistently besides pencil and paint. My favorite thing to do is calligraphy and digital drawings. I’ve taken an sketching class in high school and the foundations courses at CU but that’s about it. I view art as an ability to express things that can't be spoken or thought. I often find I get lost in a project and it comes out nothing like I expected. However, I often lose motivation to finish pieces because I come in and out of the headspace I require to work on the piece. I think it's art in itself though, my personal touch. I like to create art more spontaneously
than planned, though my perfectionism sometimes takes over and it's impossible to start much less finish some projects I've had in mind. I guess I want them to be as good as I see in my head. I love collaborating in art, especially in the planning phases. Hearing the diversity of ideas is truly inspiring and helps spark ideas for my own projects. My inspirations are mostly fantasy and fiction which can definitely be seen in my past art works.
I believe my art is just a reflection of my life; things are incomplete, sometimes messy, I'm learning, sometimes I spend time and it turns out the way it's supposed to, sometimes not. In the future I want to find my signature style when drawing and sketching. I want to start experimenting with other form of art especially tactile work with sculptures or clay. I want to keep experimenting with different mediums of art and get out of my comfort zone as much as possible in this area. Ultimately, my art is a journey.. of self-discovery, mistakes, and an ongoing exploration of the world.
