Hiya! Welcome to my page. Feel free to take a look at my galleries, I have them sorted by topic and by media :)

I'm an avid multimedia fantasy artist, college student, and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'm also a student animator. I create many things, including dragons, creatures of my own make, and existing legends.

For me, art has always been about the journey. I love exploring, experimenting, messing up, and dealing with those mistakes; for when you force yourself to accept and work with your mistakes, you learn faster. That's why, as a child, I always preferred drawing in pen to pencil, and that on lined paper. It freed me from the need to make "the perfect line" or "the perfect drawing." It helped me learn to use my imperfect lines, even terrible ones, to be more creative and free with the final product.

Entering the art world, it's all about the product; and to an extent, I've lost sight of the journey and am working to reclaim it.

That same pursuit of freedom and creativity has always driven me to try new things--I get bored if bogged down in one medium or method of creation for too long. Thus, over the years, I've gone from one medium to another, until I have acquired an extensive list of things I've tried. I have now tried a wide variety of processes, as listed below (in no particular order):

- digital 3D sculpting

- traditional 2D animation

- acrylic and watercolor painting

- eraser shaving art :D

- pen, pencil, charcoal drawing

- string art

- papier mache

- ceramic sculpture

- collage

- mosaic

- linoleum printmaking

- paper clip sculpture--my own method!

- multimedia sculpture (wire, glass, seashells, paper clips, ribbon, string, fake gems)

- 2D digital art

- film and digital photography

- scratch boards

- riso printing (involves printing with a special soy-based ink)

- writing

- performance art (singing, dance, weird art world stuff... XD)

- sound art

- ... does gardening count?
