As an art teacher and freelance artist, she was able to teach me at school and at home the skills I would need to be imaginative and creative as an artist. My visuals are influenced by people I have met and by my crazy imagination. I enjoy drawing people, because they are the most unique creatures on the planet. I also love to use bright colors or just blacks and whites referencing my preferred medium in drawing mostly with ink pens. Sketching and doodling is another art process that I have done from a young age, whether I am at church doodling on the bulletin or in class, art has been an expression that helps me concentrate and communicate words or visuals. My enjoyment of doodling has come from a love for comic strips like Calvin and Hobbes, Mutts Comics, and Garfield. I love the way that comic artists can tell jokes through different visuals and also tell stories through what they draw or write. I enjoy finding humor in my everyday life and want to convey that through my artworks.
