My mother's name is Esperanza, which translates to hope in Spanish. She is a strong, hard-working, independent woman with a heart of gold. She is empathetic and as diligent as one can be. She gives me hope and inspiration every day.

I have a newly found love for photography, and my love for drawing has persisted since the 3rd grade. Whether I use my creativity out of love or passion, time tends to pass swiftly. The passing of time and self-expression is a real beauty I find in art, along with allowing one's imagination to soar.

I am attracted to portraits and being able to capture expressions. I am particularly fascinated with eyes and enjoy recreating them in my drawings. I enjoy recreating photographs into graphite drawings or engravings. Recently I have focused on creating original drawings and images along with digital art.
