I am an aspiring artist and writer. I aspire to be a traveling journalist, and am currently in hot pursuit of a degree from Hunter College to help me do so. I appreciate the arts as well both written and visual and would love to one day strike some professional balance between these two parts of my life.
Art and writing has always been an important part of my life, even before I knew how to create it.
Art has helped me view the world by letting me learn to deconstruct life and make it into something new and of my liking. When I was younger it helped me get through harder parts of my life and it still does. Its always been like someone I could turn to to make things okay.
Writing helps me story tell.
Ive never been much of a talker, but I love stories, and I love telling them. Giving visuals to propel them only makes them better. It helps me connect in ways I don't otherwise know how to.
When I was younger I liked to make characters who were powered and could effect large change but now that I've learned more and have become slightly jaded I just like for my characters to be like real people with real problems.
More recently I've been working on a character named Berta who is just trying to make it and support her family.
I suppose she has a bit of myself in her.
To make and show real people and real stories is what aim to do.
