i started creating art when i was six years old, and continued developing my artistic abilities throughout high school and college.

how long have you created art?

burnout. finding the desire and energy to continue creating can be rough, especially when i feel pressured.

what is your biggest challenge as an artist?

nothing is perfect. i believe that viewing art as something that needs to be perfect can take away from its meaning and individuality. i think imperfections are what makes art unique and meaningful.
