Skateboarding
Skateboarding has been a huge part of my life for some time. I love how many times you have to fall and get scraped up before you learn how to do something properly. I believe being a skateboarder has built in me a confidence, grit, and thickness of skin that has served me well and made me a more careful yet fierce artist!
