My Story as an Artist
I loved teaching art at a young age. I would invite friends over to give them art lessons. When my mom signed me up for art classes as a teenager I would spend most of my time giving the other students tips and pointers. In High school I was awarded the Art Award for grade 10 and 12
I was accepted into the Art and Photography program at BYU-I University where I both majored and minored in art. I was sad to find out that there were many skills and techniques that I was never taught in my many art classes as a kid. These skills could have been easily taught at a young age and would have drastically improved my art.
I graduated in the top 3% of my class and was recommended by my professors to speak at graduation as the valedictorian for the Art Department. Now, alongside my photography business, I teach all these skills and techniques that I learnt to give others an opportunity to bring out their best artist in themselves.
