About Me
Senior at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts
Artist Statement
In my work, I experiment with artistic style and personality through the
illustration of figures. My personal drawing style is illustrative with thick outlines
and soft colors in order to tell a story. Lately, I have begun experimenting with
watercolors and felt tipped pens. The permanence and lack of predictability that
comes with using them together has been an experience in diving straight in to
my art. When I first started drawing, I was so afraid to make a mistake that i
would erase every stray line and sometimes rip the paper from overusing my
erasure or put off starting a piece just so there was no chance of messing up.
Now I’m allowing myself to not only make mistakes when working, but also to
learn from them and grow into a more confident artist.
