I am currently graduating from University of South Carolina Upstate as an art teacher. I create art because I believe in doing what you love, and creating art from a place of happiness is what I love to do. When I create art, I pay attention to the emotion it creates. I love creating pieces that aren’t too serious or harsh, but create a connection with the viewer in a positive way. Currently, I enjoy my work as a portrait photographer, as well as painting folk art and watercolor with ink. Much of my art is inspired by my own photography and travels.
