In eighth grade I took part in a Woodlawn class where I was able to learn about different mediums and techniques. I learned to develop a critical eye and gained a better understanding of the art world. What I learned at WAA followed me not just through high school, but well into college. I recently graduated from Ringling College of Art & Design, one the country’s leading art colleges. There I joined professional workshops with companies like Disney Creative Group and Abercrombie & Fitch. I am now building a freelance network to continue growing my creative portfolio.
