I have encouraged myself to discover and learn about other artists. I've worked toward this objective by taking the initiative to attend art shows and museums. I took every art and design class in high school, and I always have my sketchbook. I aspire to earn a living in a career as an artist and designer that enables me to create meaningful work, inspiring and serving others. My goals are to develop my voice, technical skills, and a portfolio of work through exploration and feedback from peers, coworkers, and professors.
