“As a 5th generation carpenter on my fathers side, and my mom being a sculptor painter and art teacher, I naturally grew interest in using my hands, paired with my mind to create. My fathers background in cultural science and urban development pushed me to study art from a cultural standpoint. And my mothers natural teaching abilities helped guide me to learn more about this world without adhering to western school curriculum. The stories my father would tell me about ancient civilizations, combined with the pictures my mother would paint of different worlds, helped mold my clay like mind for the good. I’m forever thankful for their masterful parenting.”
