Why is art important to you?
Being a psychology major, I understand the importance of mental health. Not only has art always been innate for me, it is also very therapeutic.
How long have you been creating art?
I have been drawing and painting all my life. Even at a young age, I wanted to be an artist; however, I pursued a degree in social sciences rather than visual arts. Since graduating in 2018, I have begun to pursue my career as a painter.
