When I was four years old I started to sketch and explore art. I found that it was a fun, interesting way to express feelings and convey messages. I mostly did little drawings, but by the time I was five years old I was trying to make bigger, grander pieces. I figured out that it is much easier to draw nicer pieces if there was not anything to model my artwork after. For example: it was much easier to draw a random, improvisational pattern or mismatch non-humanoid face then a person or an animal. Because of this I looked into abstract art and Wassily Kandinsky. I admired his work enough that in second grade I traveled with my mother to Washington D.C. and the National Gallery of Art to see his work. That inspired me and I started to take art classes and camps along with looking into other genres. I found interest in surrealism, impressionism, post-impressionism, and many modern sculptures.
