• Artist Statement

  For an art assignment we had to draw any snack we could find which I managed to forget to bring one in so my friend gave me an almond to draw. It was surprisingly fun but the snake was the best part after doing the life drawing. I wanted to use a color that would pop in the background so I used red but the snake was based on a pet snake I wanted a few months ago.

• Creative Statement

  Because so much of my daily existence is scripted for me (swim practice, classes, homework, chores), carving time out to let loose through the things that bring me greatest joy - art and music - is major. Creativity is unfettered freedom that takes me to a place of relief, harmony and bliss.
