• Artist Statement

  I wasn’t sure what to draw at first, but then I noticed my Starbucks strawberry acai cup and thought the strawberries looked so fun and colorful. I decided to paint it and just focused on capturing the bright reds and juicy look of the fruit. I like letting my eyes guide me when I paint, just seeing what feels right. This piece came from a small, everyday thing that caught my attention and made me want to create something happy.

• Creative Statement

  To me, creativity is making things I enjoy, like designing Roblox clothes for avatars, painting, or scrapbooking. It’s about turning ideas in my head into something I can see and share, and just having fun experimenting with colors, shapes, and designs.
