Artist Statement:
Welcome! This is my personal website for all my art. I am a photographer as well as an artist. I work with both digital and real life techniques. I will post some of my sketches and digital art on this site, although most of it will consist of personal photography. I was enrolled in photography classes through Chaparral High School and took for years of it. I prefer taking photos of nature in all of its beauty instead of people and cities. One of my beliefs when it comes to photography is that you shouldn't ever have to use photoshop on your photos. If you need that to make a photo look better then you did something wrong. Go back out there and try again until it looks just right. The raw image always looks better to me and gives you a better sense of accomplishment. As well for my sketches and digital art i am self taught. I've never taken an art class nor have i had any tutorials of any kind. I just start with an idea and go from there. More will be posted and the quality will improve as time progresses.
Personal Life:
I enjoy the little things in life. I don't need the newest phone or the latest car, i'm content with what i have already. Outside of my classes i enjoy hanging out with friends and the outdoors. Sure i love gaming and kinda nerd out over it, but I would rather be camping out in some remote location or going for a hike. I also own my own kayak and rafting equipment and occasionally go on river trips for vacation. On the side i am certified rockclimbing instructor and love to go climbing whenever i get the chance. On cold winter days, you'll usually find me at Rock'n & Jam'n on Fraser Street climbing with a friend. On warmer summer days, i'll be out at Castlewood Canyon or at Vedauwoo Wyoming setting up climbs and doing a little climbing myself.
