Welcome to my portfolio! I am excited to have you here reading my story!
Photography – Beginning with a $10 camera, I quickly feel in love with photography. I eventually upgraded to a Sony DSC-W800 and then Fujifilm Z90. While there is nothing wrong with cheap cameras, during my photography journey I knew I wanted to explore different types of cameras if I wanted a more professional touch. Eventually I bought my first DSLR camera, a Canon T5 Rebel, and years later bought the Canon T7i and have no regrets! Since then I have dabbled in all kinds of photography genres such as weddings, senior photos and portraits. Even though I have been doing photography for over 6 years now, I learn new things about my equipment and cameras daily and find new things to love more about photography.
Sketching – At the ripe old age at three I began to draw recognizable cartoons I watched on TV and I’ve had a pencil in my hand ever since. Later in my life, I was enrolled into art classes to increase my skills. I stayed active in those classes for years and entered some of my sketches and ideas in a local art show, winning a couple ribbons. Looking back, those experiences still inspire me to continue to better my art style and I continue to practice regularly.
Painting – I have used all kinds of mediums within my painting career, which includes acrylics, watercolor and spray paint. While the traditional painting styles are something that I aspire to master, I love the unconventional feeling that spray paint brings. My goal for my paintings are to explore all of the different styles I can.
During the times that I am not developing my art styles, I am a student, working my way towards an Occupational Therapy career. I am a Christian, coffee addict and dog lover. I also have been involved in the music industry, playing the violin and piano. Since I have a theme of starting everything at a young age, I was enrolled in karate classes at age six and years later became a Black Belt instructor in Shotokan Karate. During my martial arts career, I learned many different styles of self defense including Judo, Wing Chun Kung Fu, kickboxing, contemporary self defense and trained with all types of weapons.
