Ever since I was little, I’ve loved drawing and painting, but you know how it is—those little kids’ drawings on smudged paper. When I was choosing a high school, I knew I wanted to go to an art school, but I hadn’t done much drawing until 9th grade, so in 9th grade I took a few prep courses for the talent exams to make sure I was sufficiently prepared—I’m grateful for my parents’ support.
