Summary
I am a driven artist whose main passion has been to utilize illustration as a means to connect with the viewer and introduce them to new worlds and histories. As I appreciate learning about other cultures and ways of thinking, I have enjoyed working in fields where I get to interact with and assist people, whether it was educating people on sustainably grown local produce, or teaching visitors the background of ancient artifacts at the Armenian Museum of America. Wherever I work, I seek to give my knowledge and learn from the professionals around me.
