Fine Art

My roots in design started with fine art — it was always a passion of mine, and I always knew I wanted to be an artist or designer when I grew up. My favorite medium is acrylic, but I also enjoy oil, charcoal, and drawing digitally. I do a lot of pet commissions around the holidays, as well as landscapes and occasionally portraits.
