2008

I had drawn my whole life. But by the time I was a junior in high school, I was about to give up on art. I didn't feel up to the artistic level that others were at.
I took an art class only because it was required.
One day, my high school art teacher, Jeff Bushman, said, "Go paint something outside", so I did... it wasn't fabulous, it wasn't even very pretty, but it left its impression: I felt that there was more inside of me, more to develop, something that God had placed there.
My mom rushed out and bought some paints for me, and with the supplies, I experiemented. 

And so, as a high school junior, I began my true journey as an artist with sketches, pen and ink,  and watercolor.

Habia dibujado toda la vida... pero al llegar al noveno grado, queria dejar de dibujar. No senti muy creativa ni talentuosa. Tome una clase porque era requisito de la escuela.
Un dia, mi maestro, Jeff Bushman, nos dijo, "Vayanse afuera y pintarme algo". Lo hice... y salio. Como salio, no se... pero salio bien y me di cuenta de algo mas dentro de mi - que habia ALGO que Dios me habia dado para poder pintar. Y lo queria mejorar y utilizar bien.
Asi empece mi trayecto como artista.
