blog
Why a blog?
I’ve always loved sharing my ideas to whoever will listen (or is unluckily within earshot), especially when it comes to art. A lot of them are horrible or plain goofy, but a couple are worthwhile! This site is a way for me not only to improve my communication and writing skills, but to share my creativity with anyone interested!
I hope one day somebody may be inspired by my writing or art and go on to do things greater than I could have ever dreamed of. But of course, that wouldn’t be my influence, exactly. It would be the influence of whatever enabled them to have an internet connection and know how to read. It would be the influence of sight and sound, of emotions and experience.
Suffice it to say, I love words, so enjoy them too if you so desire!
Frogs for a Good Cause
Oooh, this was a fun one. I moved to a new school my 7th grade year. What better way to spend the first holiday season than making origami frogs and selling them to fund a shoebox for Samaritan's Purse?
Art Museum Sketching
The visit to the Art Institute of Chicago was a good one. And not because of the art.
Hamsters
I have the sudden urge to get another hamster just thinking about Oreo.
Oreo the hamster came home as my big 12th birthday present. I had done my research, got everything ready early, and was super excited for a furry friend. Oreo was perfect.
