When I was very young I couldn't talk, so instead I would use art to communicate with people. My mom tells me I would draw a milk carton to tell her I want milk. Eventually I got out of that phase but my passion for art didn't end. Art has been a way to remove myself from the world and embrace anything ideal. I plan on becoming a teacher but I am working on getting an Art History minor as well. In the meanwhile I still love to make art, my favorites being charcoal, sketch, and oil painting. I absolutely love Thomas Kinkade art!
