All my life I have always had a passion to write, create, paint, draw and practice calligraphy. I love using my passion to create by painting abstract flowers, sunsets and doodling minimalist pieces. Video editing has also been apart of my creating. Looking up videos of talented equestrians and making them into creative edits has been something I love to do because every one is different and I can make it into whatever I want.
