I'm a 25 year old emerging artist, born, raised, and based in South Minneapolis. From the time I was born, I was surrounded by creative minds. Although now I'm thankful for that, there was a time when I found it discouraging. Not because of any lack of instruction or access to materials, but because seeing so many talented individuals never have the spare time, support system, or funding to feed their passion led me to see art as a dead end. One of my goals is being in a position to help make art accessible and of interest to communities that need guidance and empowerment.
