As a self-taught artist I began the artistic journey at or around the age of 7. While growing up as a budding artist. I had many comments as well as support from family ( especially my maternal Grandmother), teachers. classmates, and friends both near and far. Despite that. I felt more than often very lonesome while being the only artist in my family without any type of mentor ship that I often craved for… As a child, I would mainly depict any and every imaginative thought(s) that came to my mind. There were many times I become beyond frustrated and would end up with piles and piles of crumbled up drawing papers; or I would mark a huge “X” on any drawing that I wasn’t satisfied with. 先生はいませんでしたの7歳の頃に描くの旅始めましたと皆んなさんのコメントと援助しました(特別な外祖母った)にも関わらず、1人っきりアーティストでご家族寂しくったな気持ち感じた。私の空応力で毎思う描きました^_^ 時々ガッキリしましたと“X”神が超えて描きました..
My maternal grandmother played a huge role in supporting my art. She displayed much of whatever I drew for her in her dinning room and the wall was filled with my art; as a kid I felt special. Among my mother’s favorite memories of me as a budding artist was, when I was drawing at the kitchen counter and drew for 6 hours without stopping to take any breaks. I was hyper focused on getting the drawings “right” or how I saw each one from my mind. I can remember how determined I was about not wanting to “stop” and to just “keep going”! 外祖母って大援助しました！！^__^♡♡♡♡♡ (おばあちゃん大好き😘)何でも描くおばあちゃんにデイング部屋の壁私のをいっぱい広がった！！（╹◡╹）♡お母さんの大好きな記憶私の事って若いなアーティストには六時間で描く止まらないだった！(^з^)-☆“止まらない”って“もう頑張らにゃきゃっ”ってと思うた！٩(^‿^)۶
Outside of taking Art classes in school, I took classes at The Broad Ripple Art Classes and when I was in my teens, I went to Herron’s School of Art Saturday School classes on Saturdays where I grew up in Indiana. Throughout those times, I made many artist friends and have maintained those friendships throughout the years which for the past 2 years, I remained in a strong friendship with 2 women whom I met while I met at Herron and from an anime convention from years ago… I wouldn’t change their token of friendship for anything else in this world.. As well as attending various art classes, making and keeping artist friends, I went to my first anime convention in Indiana which was C-Kon 2002. それにアートクラス授業を受けたでたくさん他の友達仲良くしました..あの頃に2人女性の有効出会ったわ！！( ◠‿◠ ) IndianaでC-Konのアニメ会行きました、2002年だった.
After that I discovered an anime convention which has held many fun and nerdy fangirl memories in the pocket of my geeky heart. Ever since I could remember anime played a huge role during my childhood, the anime that I grew up with was “MapleTown”, “Unico”,”The Adventures of the Little Koala”, “Maya the Bee”, “The Little Prince”, many of the mentioned anime was back from the mid-late 80’s. It wasn’t until I was 12 years old in the mid 90’s in which the anime series from Japan “Sailor Moon” came to the US and began on a continued journey into the of anime. When I saw “Sailor Moon” as an American schoolgirl, I was literally fascinated by all of the different character designs, bright costumes, but not only those things but the various animation techniques which really stood out to me as a pre-teen girl.
29 Years Worth Of Drawing & Living As An Artist
I can recall from the age of either 9 or 10 dreaming of being an artist. Yet I was still in underdeveloped at that age; not wanting to draw anything but cartoons such as Snoopy from Peanuts or Garfield from the Garfield comics or any of the Disney characters. By that time, I knew what I wanted in my life and did not care for learning about any other art forms (which I regret nowadays). As a budding artist, I was immensely stubborn at wanting to redraw images from what my mind portrayed as cartoons or comic characters..
