I'm 28 years old. I grew up in a small town in the Midwest with my two older sisters. My parents were both high school sweethearts who married young and had me when they were just barely out of their teens. They had a very traditional upbringing for us kids, always stressing the importance of education, hard work, and responsibility.
I developed an interest in art at a pretty young age, thanks to my mother who was always encouraging me to draw and paint. She even set up an easel in our basement so I could practice whenever I wanted. As I got older, that interest only grew stronger, and I eventually decided to pursue it as a career.
I've been working as an artist for about five years now, selling my work online and through local galleries. It's not always easy making a living doing something I love, but it's worth it to be able to create something every day that brings joy to others. When I'm not painting or drawing, you can usually find me reading or playing video games with my friends.
