Artist Statement

The Magic of Storytelling

As an artist, I believe it is important to stay in touch with one's own imagination. I grew up watching cartoons, reading books, and playing video games. As I grew older, I grew to love so many stories and characters, and now all of those things inspire me to continue the chain, and bring those things that brought me joy as a child to new generations for years to come. I hope my stories and characters serve as role models for younger children. I strive to have those stories and characters remembered and cherished.
