It began with my first set of watercolor pencils - my first love. I learned watercolor techniques from my grandmother, who encouraged me to take the seemingly simple forms of nature, God’s beautiful creation, and recreate them in my own style. I learned to recreate through direct observation, and once I developed a passion for photography, I turned that into my own realistic style. Since then, I have primarily worked from photos to create my paintings and drawings - it’s the best way for me to exercise my love for capturing and recreating elements of nature and architecture.
Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved having a paintbrush in my hand. I have always been fascinated with color and the ways I can apply it to paper, as I used to sort the crayons in my crayon box into a rainbow before beginning my next coloring book project. Although I still enjoy sorting my art supplies by color, I’ve found a connection to the world of art that grows deeper than studying crayon colors and staying inside the lines.
I know that art has been a large part of my life for a reason. I want to run with the idea that art was introduced to this world to appreciate the gifts that we are given. Thank you for being here and for walking with me on this journey. Stay tuned for more of my artistic adventures!
