I am 18 years old, a senior in high school living in Grand Ledge Michigan. I plan on attending art school in the fall of 2012, at either College for Creative Studies in Detroit, or Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids. I am mostly interested in the product design related departments, but am especially drawn to furniture design. In the last four years of my artistic development I have experimented with many mediums of fine arts and have been inspired to make art my my life path. As of right now I have a handful of completed and portfolio worthy works, with many more on the way. I have worked with mostly acrylic paints and some watercolor, and am in the process of my first oil painting, with my encaustic as my next big plan! However I do enjoy basic pencil drawings and pastels, charcoal, and even ink pens.
