Bio

I am a fun, energetic, creative, and innovative person. I am very passionate about my beliefs and stand up for any injustice I see around me. My goal is to be one of the best artists in the world. I am a goal-oriented person, and I generally achieve my goals. My love for art is ingrained in my life. I can spend all day in an art museum analyzing great works of art and countless hours drawing and painting. I love art and enjoy creating original pieces. Whether it be a sketch, painting, or sculpture, art allows me to show people who I am and what I am thinking without me having to say a word. I believe that I have found my calling based on my love for art and the encouragement of my family and teachers. Being selected for this scholarship will help me in achieving my future goals of completing undergraduate and advanced studies in fine art and becoming an artist, curator, and educator.
