Undergraduate Degree: The University of Texas at Arlington - Bachelor in Arts, Studio Arts

Art is part of everything I do; I go to museums in my free time, collect books on art theory, movements, or artists to expand my knowledge, and spend time in a studio working on projects. My interests outside of art mainly include reading, exercise, and sewing/embroidery. For as long as I have enjoyed art in my life, I have enjoyed reading the same. Reading provides me mental breaks or can be a reference when I'm struggling with art. It allows me to both take in new information and read good stories. I have been in cheerleading and tumbling for 14 years, and while I don't do it competitively anymore, I still keep my skills up at a cheer gym I work at twice a week. Other ways I stay active are going on a run or doing yoga. And something calm I enjoy is sewing and embroidery. I use this both in art and everyday life, sewing patches or alterations for clothes or adding a little flair and character to my clothing by embroidering.
