The beginning of something honest, of no restraints. 2024 marks the year of committing to the artist. During my time as a Creative Director for DAM-Chic Mag at Oregon State University, I was reminded of art academy classrooms and hallways. A reminder that passion still burned. Under my own pressure, I experimented with my first visual narrative series in my dorm room closet. My attitude was “onto the next!”, and I ambitiously began making hats, props, sets, and whatever was necessary to bring my visions to fruition.
