Growing up I have always had a passion for art and the outdoors. In college I discovered my mission: to inspire awareness for the environment through art. I study scientific topics about animals, plants, and places, and I design a painting to convey that concept. My hope is that others will appreciate nature the way I do, and take action towards preserving our wonderful planet.
