Accomplishments

I have gotten to paint a painting for the former governor of Virginia Ralph Northam. Was able to get once of my art piece in a art exhibit with others students last minute, because my art teacher liked it so much. I drew a picture of a black woman to be entered in my school's yearbook, she thought it was so pretty that she's giving my art a whole page in the yearbook.

Interests

I want to become a graphic novelist and create movies and tv shows of the characters I create

Creating art

I've been drawing as long as I can remember. Growing up I had a hard time making friends so I drew characters and made worlds from my imagination. Another thing I liked to do in my spare time was read the first graphic novel I ever read was called "The Lumberjanes". When I was reading it I was completely mesmerized, as I looked through each scene and reading each word made me feel like I was in the book. Ever since then I was hooked and now that I'm going to graduation about to go to college my dream is so close to coming true.
