Tell us a little bit about your journey as a young and developing artist.

Since I was very young I’ve always loved expressing my creativity, whether it was by drawing or painting. At school, my teachers and classmates would tell me how talented I am and that I was gifted. Whenever I have free time I devote it to practicing, studying, learning, and getting better at showing my ideas. I’m grateful for my parents for making all of this possible, supporting me all these years.

Which has been your favorite project to work on at One River and why?

If I had to pick a favorite project I’ve worked on at One River, it would be the Background Speedruns project. I heavily enjoyed the whole process of making it and loved the outcome.

Describe One River in 3 words and tell us why

If I were to describe One River in 3 words it would be diverse, exciting, and fun. I love meeting people with the same interests as me as well as learning new things! Plus, everyone is so ebullient and loving, it’s honestly a great place.

What would you tell people who’ve never dabbled in art making are the real benefits to trying it?

I would tell them that the benefits are endless, it all depends on how you specifically see or do it. For example, art can show power, emotion, life, death, perspective, and more. Showing and making pieces can help your or other peoples’ lives in a way you didn’t know was possible. You never know until you try it, there are benefits and I think it’s so cool.
