Welcome!
IWU Runway Show 12/24
What brought you here?
Maybe you want to see some art. Awesome! I’ve made a lot over the years, if less recently due to college. To view the archive, click here or head to the “artwork” page.
Maybe you’re interested in reading a young adult’s writing. Uh… interesting choice when you could be reading something far more worthwhile like Malcolm Gladwell’s Talking to Strangers or Charles Duhigg’s Supercommunicators, or (let me plug a friend) Don Wettrick’s Pure Genius, but in the unlikely case you do, click here and navigate to the “blog” page.
Maybe you want art lessons! That’s exciting, since even I am knowhere near understanding the full potential of the tools of an artist. But I do know a thing or two to share and get you on your way! To see my upcoming workshops, visit the “events” page. To schedule private lessons, navigate to the “Studio O” page under “and” and follow the instructions provided. I look forward to meeting you!
Bit about me
Cardboard Club 4/25
Let’s sum it up with: I have a lot of ideas and opinions that I want to share well, so I practice my writing and try to read widely.
My thoughts tend to revolve around art, so I enjoy relaying them here in writing and image. I also enjoy video games, entrepreneurship, philosophy, communication theory, and having genuinely enjoyable conversations with complete strangers and closest friends alike.
Whatever I decide to do, I tend to do it to an extreme. Is it good to struggle settling? We' shall see.
Why a blog?
Wildcat Summer Academy 7/24
What good is creativity if it isn’t shared? While art may always remain a hobby for me (with the occassional commission for friends and family), I can still share it with the world through a website. Sure, social media can be a fantastic outlet, but I can control more aspects of and be more consistent on a website here than I can with the ever-changing platforms out there.
As a 19 year old, I’ve got a bit of knowledge, but so much more to learn. This is a place I can share my interests and experiences in visual arts; past, present and predictive.
