About
Bio
I have always loved to create artwork, however not everyone has shared my enthusiasm for my creative work. When I was in kindergarten the weekly art instructor often criticized me in front of the class for doing the projects “wrong.” My first-grade teacher called my parents in for a disciplinary meeting because of the “indecent drawings” I made in class (i.e. Bart Simpson nude in the shower). In third-grade, I was accused of having my mom do my creative assignments for me because I “couldn’t have drawn that well.” As a freshman in high school my English teacher had a different artistic perspective than my third-grade teacher and wrote on an assignment, “don’t attempt art unless you are an artist” after I elected to draw an optional visual component for a larger assignment. Despite this discouragement, I have continued to create what I like. Since I began exhibiting my artwork at galleries in 2016, such notable celebrities as Travie McCoy and David Duchovny have commissioned me and Viacom International, Inc. has licensed my artwork for use on Nickelodeon Television. My experiences have taught me that taste in art is subjective so if you always project your own creative voice someone will listen.
