Summary

I am an artist inspired by the world’s beauty and mystery. It is my constant goal to explore the relationship between color, form, emotion, and faith. I aspire to bring hope and inspiration to others through my skills, community service, leadership roles, and artwork. I am a junior at Azusa Pacific University in the Honors Humanity and BFA Programs. One of my goals is to open an art studio that provides classes for individuals with disabilities, especially those with autism.
