In late 2019, when I was 12 years old, I started painting at the Round Top Family Library's after-school art program in Round Top, Texas.
Since then I have continued to train both at home and with Karen Vernon in Fayetteville, Texas, and Tom LaRock in Woodlands, Texas. I'm currently training with Robin Williamson at DaVinci Studios in Sugarland, Texas.
My biggest artistic influences are: William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Sir Lawrence Alma-tadema, Charles Bargue, and Frederic Leighton.
