The diversity of images I see in my head come from traveling the world. Above is a picture of London, where I went when I was twelve. The city exposed me to magnificent art, extraordinary architecture, and a luxurious history. The following summer I went to South Africa, Botswana, and Zambia and experienced something very new to me. I admired the handmade goods, wildlife, and food and pull inspiration from both of these places. That year was a pivotal moment in which I solidified an interest in creativity because I had been exposed to so many beautiful things then.

I plan to approach this class with an open mind to all ideas and concepts. I hope to not only sharpen my skills, but to more clearly understand light, matter, and and color. Being interested in fashion design and management, I plan to apply as much as I can from this class to whatever I do in that industry. At the moment, I am most interested in honing my illustrative approach and quality. Parsons is unique in that they teach applicable practices that can help us students succeed before we even graduate. Although it was tough to decide, I came to Parsons aiming to succeed during my college years rather than have fun at a state school and wait to succeed after. I plan to learn as much as possible from both my teacher and classmates to make this goal possible.
