Quick Catch Up...

Ok, well it'd be really impossible to update this blog with everything that's happened since Irish Cream Brownies :) So, here's the long and the short of it.

I'm moving.
I was accepted at the Academy of Art University in the Spring, and at first I was planning on doing it fully online, but I got an offer to live in the city that I couldn't refuse, so off to San Francisco I go! I'm going to live with my cousin down there, which is amazing. I checked out the apartment and it's gorgeous. I've been so apprehensive about it, considering I've never lived away from Redding, but as soon as I got there, I had that feeling of "this is just so right."

It's extremely bittersweet, as I absolutely love my life in Redding and I've never been one of those "I can't wait to get out of this town" Redding kids. But I feel it's time to take on this new adventure.

I started classes online this summer, and I'm having a blast. It's a lot of work and extremely challenging, but I love every second of it. I feel like I've been rekindled with my first love. So, I'll definitely be updating this blog more as I want to stay connected with everyone.

Here are a few of the assignments I've been working on so far:

Self Portrait:


Positive/Negative Space:



Portrait of a Stranger:



Difficult Lighting:



So, that's what I've been up to. I'm thankful to those who have encouraged and believed in me and pushed me to go.
