Summary
As a passionate painter, experienced photographer, and digital content creator, I am driven to explore themes of identity, emotional expression, and social connection through my artistic practice. I aim to integrate the analytical insights from my undergraduate studies, my previous (artistic) work experience over the past 3 years, and my creative pursuits to inspire and support others. I am excited to use art to explore and communicate complex emotional and social themes and foster meaningful connections through creative expression.
