What type of art do you like to do?
I love to do portraits, especially with colored pencil. I’ve never taken painting as my painting skills aren’t really on par with my drawing, but they do some really fun stuff in there.
What inspires you to do art?
I have always found that drawing and painting relieves all of my stress and makes me happy. The best feeling in the world is when I finish a piece that I’m especially proud of, and all I want to do is show it to everyone that
is willing to look.
Do you look up to or get your inspiration from any other artists?
There are so many artists that inspire me, but I draw inspiration mostly from the everyday. Art is unique in that way. You have a unique style that combines elements from many other fellow artists and still be an original.
Are you familiar with any other artists at CHS that have inspired your work?
My close friends Franci Figueroa and Andrea Pittman are both wonderful artists, and I love their work. However, their styles are very different than mine.
Do you plan on continuing to do art for the rest of your life?
I will most definitely continue to work on pieces for the rest of my life. Art is so rewarding, and I could never give it up.
