What are you most proud of when considering this artwork?

When considering this artwork, I am most proud of the detail and realism that I was able to put into the face, especially the light shading in the nose area.

Where do you find inspiration as an artist?

I find inspiration from myself and my experiences.

When did you begin drawing? What made you begin?

I began drawing in middle school because I wanted a way to express myself.

What’s your favorite piece of art made by another person?

I don’t have a favorite piece of art yet, maybe I will if I take AP Art History next year. Wakefield students – please sign up for AP Art History. 

How have you progressed throughout your life as an artist?

I have definitely progressed in my technique and ability to draw exactly from reference images.
