A Passion for Art
Growing up, I was introduced to art early on, and my mom taught me to draw (ink, chalk and charcoal) and build my artistic skills. She had previously painted for a number of years, taking classes with a well-known local artist, and always encouraged creativity. In my late teens my focus on art subsided and started channelling my creative energy towards technology. However, my passion for artwork was ignited again in 2016 after discovering a small collection of paintings from my mom that I never knew existed, and was inspired to re-channel my creative focus and started painting again.
I’ve always loved nature and being outdoors, and have been an avid hiker and enjoyed exploring the beautiful mountains and beaches of Southern California. This evolved into a natural focus for my artwork, which has been primarily digital.
