Summary
With approximately six years of work experience, I have always had a strong determination to work hard and efficiently. Art has always been a huge part of my life; I am a creative problem solver who likes to bring new ideas to the table. Coming from a family of artists, I have worked hard for years to hone my artistic skills. While I specialize in drawing, I have experience in every form of art making. Additionally, I have begun developing my professional skills in the kitchen and would love the opportunity to refine them. I am an open-minded person who welcomes constructive criticism.
