Interests
My interests revolve mainly around my love of art. Making it, viewing it, studying it, all of it is something I thoroughly enjoy. Attending an arts college where one is surrounded by people with the same mindset is a really encouraging environment to keep doing what one loves best. Printing, painting, drawing, sculptural installations, and stop-motion animation are my favorite forms of art I like to work with. I also love music and am in the process of learning to play the piano.
Some other leisurely activities I enjoy are reading, writing, or anything that allows one to reflect on society.
