I am currently an art student in my fourth year of study and am a senior in high school. In my art, I seek to bring my subjects to life through a combination of detail and color. I am a painter of mostly birds and flowers, but paint landscapes and other subjects, as well. In adition to being a visual artist, I am also a photographer. I mostly work with oils, watercolors, and colored pencils, although I also use oil pastels, acrylics, and graphite. I have won many awards for my work, including 1st Place in the TN Junior Duck Stamp contest, 2nd and 3rd places in the 4th Congressional District art competition, ribbons at the Tennessee Valley Fair, and numerous others.
