<\/div>\n\n\n\n
From Maine to the Bay Area and back again, much of my artistic inspiration and influence stems from walking with my dog throughout the alleyways of San Francisco\u2019s beautiful and lively Mission District. Although I am interested in many forms of artistic expression, my deepest calling is with painting and writing. I am working toward obtaining an Interdisciplinary Studies degree and a masters degree in Fine Arts. My heart believes in changing education and bringing art to others in ways that are accessible and inclusive. This freedom of expressive work feels critical and vital toward ensuring the success of our collective future.<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
