"If you have created something, you have not wasted your time. Even if you are not happy with the result, you have taken another step toward your goal. You have learned what worked and what didn't work. Everyone is at a different skill level and every single piece of art you create boosts your skill level. So don't be ashamed of anything you create - celebrate it. Be proud of it, and of yourself."

From my early days attending the Southern Indiana Center for the Arts as a wide-eyed child to dedicating my high school years to exploring every available art course, my passion for art has been a constant and driving force in my life. For six years, I had the privilege of nurturing young artistic minds as an art teacher at a private school, a role that was incredibly fulfilling.In the digital realm, I've had the fantastic opportunity to contribute my pixel art skills to games like Furcadia and Pixel Petz, while also creating engaging social media material for Pixel Petz. Digital painting is my true love, and I take immense pleasure in bringing pets and animals to life on the virtual canvas. Pixel art has a special place in my heart, where I find joy in crafting intricate and nostalgic designs. And, occasionally, I let my imagination run wild with fanart creations that add a touch of whimsy to my portfolio.While I dabble in traditional watercolor from time to time, the majority of my work finds its home in the digital realm. My art journey has been an exciting and evolving adventure, and I can't wait to share it with you. Thank you for visiting my portfolio, and I hope my creations bring a smile to your face and ignite your love for art as well!

However, keep in mind that waiting for WIP approval might extend the overall timeframe. If you simply want updates without changes, it won't hinder the process.★ Changes can be requested at any WIP stage, but major alterations (ie. pose, background, or character changes) are best addressed during the sketch phase.★ Minor adjustments, such as missing markings, can be accommodated after the artwork is finished, but it's advised to communicate any concerns early on.
