      Phillip Morales Memorial Art Scholarship
      Hello! My name is Jesica Rios. I want to share my experiences and goals with you. I moved to San Antonio, Texas, for college. This experience has greatly influenced my art and helped me become a more creative person. It has also contributed to my growth as a person. I love both drawing and painting, using digital tools and traditional canvases. When I chose my college major, it felt right to follow my creative passion. After looking at different options, I found that 3D animation and game design excited me the most. This field combines various art forms, such as drawing, texturing, sculpting, and design, allowing me to express my ideas fully. Watching Philip's work inspired me, as our interests in art and the video game industry are similar. I have loved video games since I was a child, and studying 3D animation, especially modeling, feels like a dream. Even though the industry is competitive, my passion for my projects keeps me motivated. My future goals are clear: I want to create innovative art projects and improve my skills in 2D and 3D techniques, design, and drawing. I hope to contribute to impactful experiences in film, gaming, and social media.
