I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas- although at the moment I currently reside in a small town in Louisiana. Most people might think that explaining my past is redundant, but I feel that how I grew up is the basis of who I am today. From a young age I had such a large interest in art as well as reading. I remember picking up my first book (Dr. Seuss', "One Foot, Two Foot.") and telling myself that I wouldn't stop until I could read every word. And without fail, I had read everything I could possibly get my hands on. As I grew, my interests began to vary to prose, poetry- as well as art. My mother was an artist herself- and she inspired me to keep on pursuing my dreams to be an artist. Though, now a days I don't consider myself an artist- I still have a great passion for it. Personally I believe that if I can effect someone with my words, or my art work- then I have done something right. Everyone is different- but we are all able to feel the same emotions. I believe everything is connected this way and that is why I prefer traditional mediums over digital. While digital artwork is amazing, I feel that I don't have the same connection with it as I do with traditional art. I get great pleasure from mulling over different palletes, getting my fingers into the paint- trying different techiniques to get across my message.
I am currently your typical 19 year old- on the verge of being 20. I'll be attending my first year of college in the fall. And, no, I have no idea what I'll be studying. I'm dancing on the thin line of 'what the Hell am I doing with my life?', and knowing exactly what I want. I'm constantly trying to get the most out of my life, and learn as much as I can in the process.

If you're looking for someone to debate with, share artwork, or to critisize- please feel free to contact me.
Just as a side note: I'd like to say that I do realize my domain name is misspelled.
