My biggest motivation is the love I have for creating. Since I was a child, drawing people has been something I seemed to enjoy. It was during my senior year of high school that I started to see my potential as an Artist then I went to college after high school but found that I was wasting my time. The only progression I found was through my art. People started to look up to me and enjoy the work I put out. It was around this time that my friend Alina and I began to curate art shows, we didn’t think much about it and just did it. We brought together some exciting artists from the area and had a great crowd to enjoy the art. The exhibitions my friends and I throw now are larger than I could have imagined at 19. Since then, I’ve kept my student mentality and keep challenging myself. It’s to the point that I don’t feel like myself if I am not working on a painting or planning an art exhibition. Being able to paint all day, put together art shows, and impact lives is a successful life.
