On April 25th, 2017, I picked up a charcoal pencil for the first time. I had never explored charcoal before and, truth be told, I was a little afraid of the medium. After playing around, I was excited with the outcome. A few portraits later and I felt right at home. I am self-taught and still have a lot to learn. Five portraits in, I was offered my very own personal art show at a local library. Now I'm on a mission to improve and develop my new art. I hope you enjoy watching me grow as an artist!
