There are many reasons why I am interested in art. It has always been a way to express myself whenever I was happy, sad or creative. Even when I think about my future I cannot imagine myself doing something that did not involve art.

When it comes to creating my work (any type of art), I always start by doing studies. This includes finding books and pictures that help me get inspired. Next, I always do sketches. Lots of sketches help me perfect my final idea. I am open to different mediums; I use pencils the most but branch out into using markers and paint. It all depends on what inspires me, which is normally just what I am feeling at the time. For example, my Paley Park design above focuses on my main inspiration of an outdoor art studio. Once I focused on that idea I used pen, pencil, markers and board to express my ideas.

My art has changed a lot since I was very young. Even though I have always been interested in art, I feel like Iʼm always improving. Since I am so passionate about it, I am always eager to read more books and spend more time practicing. Every time I think of something new, I am excited to try and master that skill, if it's trying a new medium or taking on a new project I love every second of it.
