Details:
My creative journey extends from my primary years in grade school to the present. My creative journey has not always been easy, but I have come to realize that my journey is relatable to so many. Over the years, my artistic practice has somewhat remained intact, but my style has evolved and is continuing to evolve, which not only includes my fine art and wearable art, but now includes my newfound career as an independent curator.
