These are mostly for me. I don't proclaim to be a professional fine artist, but I enjoy painting and drawing from time to time and thought I would share some of my favorite more recent works.

The Finer Arts
I have been dabbling in the fine arts for as long as I can remember. In middle and high school, I would draw as a way to wind down and take my mind off of school. I also took art classes as often as I could.
​
Over time, I started drawing less and less until it became almost a stranger to me. I still don't do as much drawing as I used to, but I've been starting to integrate doodling back into my life as a form of relaxation.
​
I started painting a few years ago and realized just how much I loved it. I have anxiety and get stressed out a little too easily. Painting is the best way I've found to calm my mind. I hope to do more painting in the near future and level up my skills. My ultimate goal is to grow my inventory of paints and ultimately turn my painting into printable products such as stickers, greeting cards, prints and more!
