I’ve always enjoyed creating different things. I drew a ton as a kid because it was something to do by myself and brought comfort - but disliked art classes because I didn’t like being told what to draw/do. I fell into a lot of other creative activities throughout my life so far like video editing, painting, making music, floral design, and graphic design but never considered myself an artist or even considered that an option for me. In 2023 after a lot of burnout(s), I’m excited and ready to invest in my journey as an artist here - whatever that looks like!

I like to draw animals, bugs, flowers, and food. When I’m not drawing, I enjoy puttering in one of two gardens or “tucking in” to a snack underneath a fleece blanket.

“Fun facts”
My go-to comfort food is noodles.
My favorite fruits are sun gold kiwis & apricots.
One of my “reach” goals is to learn how to dance.

I never thought of myself as an artistic person but I always wished I could be one. I used to think talent and skill was innate. You were either born being good at drawing or you were out of luck. I wasted a lot of years believing this and it cost me a lot of enjoyment in my life. I finally came to my senses. I might never have innate talent with art, but the only thing stopping me from practicing and getting better at it was myself. I’m happier when I draw. Life feels more interesting when I draw. It can be frustrating and it can feel pointless, sure, but it can also feel deeply rewarding when I create something I’m proud of. I hope you learn from my dumb mistake and I hope you find something here that makes you think, “that’s neat.”

“Fun facts”
My current meal of choice are chicken & rice bowls.
My favorite dessert is apple pie.

I'm a dude from Oregon who likes to draw weird little guys, mostly robots and monsters.

I am deeply grossed out by snails, slugs, worms, leeches, and eels. Big fan of Octopuses, though. I wouldn't wanna touch one, but they’re fun to look at.

I don’t really know how to write a bio, so I’m just gonna list some of my favorite foods...

Dessert: Cinnamon Roll

Beer: Rainier

Cereal: Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds

Cracker: Original Goldfish (Oyster Crackers are a close second)

Ice Cream: Tillamook Strawberry
