Note from the artist:

Following my time at UNG, I feel that I have learned many of the most crucial and fundamental skills that any successful budding artist should possess. I appreciate and look back fondly at each studio class I had the privilege of taking and am thankful for the connections and opportunities I have had in the past four years.

Of each of the courses that I have taken, I found Life Drawing to be particularly helpful in getting me to understand the most efficient ways to sketch realistically and quickly, and Craft Media in Painting to be particularly helpful in giving me an outlet and art movement to aspire to.

After finishing my education, I plan to attempt to branch out into the professional art world through galleries and exhibitions, and I am excited to pursue a career in tattooing after completing my degree. It is my life’s goal to become an artist that is authentic, self-sufficient, and financially comfortable.
