I will never forget the first time I sculpted my first character. Although the character was rough and needed a ton of refinement, I was proud of my work and knew this was the field I wanted to pursue. For me, character art is not only my job but my passion. As an artist and an athlete, hard work, teamwork, perseverance, and time management are vital aspects of my life that affect my art and everyday life. These characteristics have pushed me as an artist and to strive to learn and develop my skills and identity.
