REPETITION — As a child, I would spend hours, upon hours, sketching the same object. Whether it be a flower, a person or more commonly - my own hand. I dedicated all of my time having pencil to paper, seeing it as nothing more than a passion to create. It wasn’t until this past year that I reflected back on those early years, identifying this time as a refining of skills. The desire to expand these skills has only intensified, immersing myself into the digital world of design, illustration and animation, using past travels and modern/traditional artists as a fountain of inspiration.
