I began drawing the moment I learned how to use a pencil. My earliest memories are of my father, my brother and I sitting around the table drawing stickman battlefields. However, art wasn't just a childhood phase for me, it became my absolute anchor. Every single year through school, I found my sanctuary in the art room. From those first messy paints in elementary to building my graduation portfolio, I honed my craft obsessively. I learned the rules of composition so I could break them, always seeking to balance elegance with the horror.
