All my life, I have been fascinated with art and the imitation of life. Growing up with a then undiagnosed mental illness, caused me to have a long-lasting negative view on life. I never liked people, I never liked nature, I never had an opinion on anything. I learned quickly that this pessimistic view of my situation would only lead to more impact on my life-quality. I grew up and started to desperately try and grasp onto anything that I could find a positive in. I found that, despite my situation, I could be content with my small joys- those joys being art, music, design, reading, film- and practically anything creative. I found comfort in the familiarity of humans and their complex and differing shapes, which is why I have so thoroughly pursued portrait art. As well as portrait art, I have found interest in game design, and design in general. I found games to fuel a  fountain of passion and desire to create deep inside of me. As a lover of various methods of story telling, video-games are without a doubt, my favorite- a playable piece of art and story, I suppose.

 I am a queer teen growing up in a diverse town in Pennsylvania. This place and its people idealize art as its own entity of our town. An unreplaceable piece of our charm- one that preaches kindness to the strangers who it welcomes. 

I have faced much through the few years I have been on this planet, but I refuse to let the hurdles of  Bipolar-depression and Anxiety stop me from finding my potential as a person. I have made it this far- and I will use art to celebrate that fact. That I, and all who have dealt with life, are still here.
