Art creation is not something I have always enjoyed or excelled at. Instead, it is something I slowly developed a passion for over time. Surrounding myself with creative friends in college, I commonly found myself in settings where art was produced, discussed, and enjoyed freely. I found inspiration from these experienced and learned to lean into creative outlets as an escape from my studies. Over time, I have become increasing comfortable producing art of my own as I continued to develop my identity as an artist of many media.
