In the words of the artist: "My art journey started unexpectedly in 2013 when I was forced to take a Drawing I class in college because it was the only art class left that wasn't full! It was the first time I ever attempted to really draw and my professor said my natural talent was oozing from me. After our portrait project, I knew I loved drawing faces more than anything, and I've been drawing them ever since! Since then, I've transitioned to full color pieces only, drawing so realistic portraits with color pencils and chalk pastels. My inspiration comes from myself, the beauty I see in others, and the vibrant colors that surround me. People often tell me they recognize a piece of mine because of my brilliant color usage, and I believe that's what sets me apart! My art is here strictly to please people aesthetically and bring more beauty into their lives."
