About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience the world and all the fascinating people in it

ABOUT ME

I am a student artist living in the states about to take a gap year to travel throughout Europe and Indonesia. In my spare time I enjoy drawing, painting, hiking and spending time with my family. I'm very outgoing and active and I am always looking to meet new and interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

To embody the importance of community, the appreciation of life and the possibility of a self-declared reality through vulnerable relationships and an active pursuit of knowledge. I live my life constantly looking for ways to do what I love to do while serving the community. I try to be present in everything I do, to help people see things in a different way and to surround myself with people who help me do the same.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I have done is spend six weeks studying sculpture at the top design school in the country. Not only was it an amazing experience, but the artwork that I was exposed to there was truly life changing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach all about art, mostly the creation and details about drawing and painting but also about art history. I also have a lot of experience with fundraising and leadership training that I could be able to share.
