Artist and Writer
I took high school level art classes while in the sixth and seventh grades. As a sophomore in high school, I was taught and trained by professional artist, Katherine Taylor-Greene. I believe that art is an amazing tool and avenue with which one can communicate their perception of the universe with others and teach them to do the same.
I'm passionate about writing and teaching others to value their own written work as well as that of other creatives. Society would fare much better in life if people would once again value the works of others' minds, hands, and imagination.
One of my goals in life is to encourage and inspire others through art and writing to share their creativity with others and realize that the true things of value in this world are the things done in kindness. Sharing our skills with the world is one way we can show kindness to others and ourselves.
