I have been studying pencil, charcoal, acrylic, oil & watercolor art for 11 years. In fine arts, I have won a total of 9 1st prizes and 5 Grand prizes at the Minnesota State Fair. In addition, I have received 3 Scholastic gold keys, 2 Scholastic silver keys, entrance of 3 works of art in the Minnesota Best 100, and other awards. I have also started an Arts & Literature magazine for my school as to encourage others to journey further into their creative ventures. My passion for art also transcended into a passion for web design. I have been self-studying web-design for 7 years, from 2009 to current. I have since created 13+ live websites.
