I'm a digital artist, self-proclaimed Illustrator with a degree in Graphic Design. I started drawing at the age of 6. I put my heart into my work, I'm addicted to every piece I work on. I just need the right opportunity to break into the art world. I don't care about getting rich, I just want to take care of my family. My family and my art keeps me grounded. I thank God for blessing me with eyes to create art.
