“I started painting and drawing when I was 5. It quickly became a passion of mine over the years. I found art as a way to communicate to my surroundings, people and myself. It’s an experience that I hold dearly even while I’m in school as an architecture student. I mainly create portraits as it meets my fascination with human features. Tap into your creativity. You’ve got this.”
