Personal StatementAs a young artist I dreamt of being a realistic painter. My main focus was on landscapes and portraits. In college, I struggled with trying to figure out what to center my career around. I attempted to change my style of work many times. Then I began to create comics, and thought to myself, "My mind is made, I will be a cartoonist." Until my 4th and graduating year I found a craft that perfectly suits me. Building puppets. If it wasn't for SVA's puppet workshop class, I may not have found this skill that I love very much. Today I am working as a Set Designer and Event Decorator/Coodinator. I am able to incorporate all of my crafts within this position. The opportunity to create is endless! |
