I was born where I live now, Vancouver Washington my entire life. I lived in the same house for a while; first with my sister and parents, then my mom moved out to Washougal while my dad stayed in the house, when my dad moved to Portland my mom moved back into that same house, I lived there for 13 years and just moved out. Ever since the parental Units split up it has been kind of a pain going back and forth between places every three days, practically living in my suitcase all the way until now. I can’t complain though, I am very lucky to have both a step dad and step mom now just adding on to my already huge family. Overall I am just a normal person who hasn’t had much of a change; ever.

Whenever I have free time I draw and that’s it, I wanted a good art class in high school and I decided to try something new: photography. So far this class has helped me explore more ways to express art, and some techniques I have learned in this class has actually helped me a lot in my drawing skills too. Things like artistically placing objects in a photo gave me ideas on how I could better pose my drawings. I hope to make painting or photography part of my future career just because that is the one thing I could spend hours on and have fun with it.

I would never stop creating art no matter what form it is. Whether its photography, drawing, painting, or even just choosing décor, art and the process in creating something amazing will stay with me because I love it more than any other thing to do and half of the fun is creating something someone loves.
