Artist's Statement
Well like I said, I've been drawing since I can remember. My younger brother and I would draw all over our walls and our beds as children. I am currently in high school and I often draw all over my papers and notebooks. School is a good place to experiment with different random ideas because I get bored easily in class. I can come up with some things in school I'd never come up with somewhere else. I also have various sketch pads and prefer to use mainly pencil and ink. My computer is used for a lot of art too. I like digital art because you can create great beautiful images of any shade of color in a matter of minutes. I am also very much into a lot of different music and I love playing drums with my friends and my brother. I believe that playing music with other people and connecting with another person without even talking is one of the greatest feelings of all.

I view art as a way to express thousands of views and meaningful things I feel strongly about with a simple movement of my hand. It can let me escape from reality by sitting there and laying my mind down onto paper. My will to create is a powerful force deep within me. I think that my absolute main artistic goal is to try and make people realize the big picture, to think about what is going on around them, to imagine, to love themselves, pursue happiness, respect our roots, and maybe help some understand that in order to make a difference you have to get involved, get educated, and try to make each day better than the last.
