I am a self-taught artist who works across many mediums—graphite pencil, ink, paint, even sculpture—depending on the message I want to convey. I’m most drawn to realism and fantasy, and I use my art to inspire and uplift others, to offer motivation and meaning. Painting gives me purpose. It helps me stay focused on my goals and reminds me of who I want to be. Outside of my artwork, I engage in productive activities, including working toward a degree in psychology. My dream is to one day reunite with my family and make a positive impact in my community. Through art, I hold onto that vision—and I hope others can feel that energy in my work.
