About the Artist

I am confident in my creative spirit and in my freedom of expression through artistic means, always hungering to explore new methods, movements, and media. 

I began my true professional journey through the completion of my Associate's Degree for Transfer at Foothill Community College. The emphasis of hands-on skill-building through medium-specific college courses sparked my interest in continuing my education by acquiring a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Studio Practice Concentration. I am currently in progress with San Jose State University to enhance my professional skills, refine my technical craftsmanship, and strengthen my conceptual basis of the artisans before me. 

Having practiced art for nine years, I have a variety of experience and exposure to art styles, mediums, and techniques. A majority of my portfolio is completed in traditional 2D mediums (such as gouache & acrylic paint, charcoal, and graphite); however, I have recently broadened my experience with digital media and software to create a broader scope of artwork.

 

Several of my artistic design skills permeate across mediums in a commendable way and can be integrated through innovative manners, which is presented through this online portfolio. Enjoy my explorations in this newfound medium and stick around to see what else I find myself capable of.
