I hope to overall share the emotion of positivity. I want my art to bring happiness to people. I think especially us as students can put a lot of pressure on ourselves to make sure we’re doing the most in our classes. So I hope my art can bring a bit of relief to all that stress!

2026 + Psychology

Owner of Cosmic Creations

The most rewarding part of my creative process is seeing the final product after putting in a ton of work. The most challenging part is time management and keeping mental/physical stamina on tedious projects.

2025 + Chemistry

There tends to be a lot of detail in my art especially with bigger pieces and when going through life it is common for people to look at the big picture of something and dismiss the details. What I want is for people to always see the details that make up the whole of an image and consider the different perspectives in which it can be viewed.
