My name is Alena Hubbard. I'm 29 years old and have always been a bit of an introvert. As a child, I would spend hours playing with dolls and creating intricate stories for them to act out. It was my own way of escaping reality and exploring the world around me through fiction.

Growing up wasn't easy for me, though. My family moved around frequently due to my father's job as an engineer in various oil fields across the country. We never stayed in one place long enough for me to make real friends or feel truly connected to a community. This led to feelings of loneliness and disconnection that I carried with me into adulthood.

In college, I studied fine arts with a focus on painting and sculpture. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for creating hyperrealistic portraits that captured the subtleties of human expression and emotion. I found solace in immersing myself in art and using it as a means to explore and process my own emotions.

In recent years, I've been exploring different mediums such as photography and digital art to further hone my craft. It's a continuous journey for me, but one that brings me immense joy and fulfillment.
