Projects

• Write On! Showcase: Art WorkThis is a piece I shared with Pen to Print's magazine "Write On!". It's about an artist who overcomes their fears to share their art and music with the world.
• Keep an Open Mind - Pen to Print and "Write On!" ShowcaseThis is a video I created for Pen to Print's magazine, "Write On!" My poem, song, and video were accepted as part of Write On's Showcase, where writers of all kinds display their work and creativity.
• Web Design: My Main WebsiteThis is a project where I created a design for my own website. I used the Carrd web design builder, which works well for simple website designs.
• Storytelling Through MusicThis is a post about storytelling through music, and why it's meaningful to me. I think you can use songs and songwriting to tell your own story!
• Booksie WritingOn Booksie, I share various kinds of writings, from updates about my art projects, to short stories and song lyrics. My goal is to create an archive of some of my work while I'm able to do it.
• The Destiny Art ProjectI'm working on a concept art project called "Destiny Art". I aim to complete most of it throughout the year, gradually building up the materials, writings, videos, imagery, and music for it. When I complete the project, I'll share its website! The "Destiny Art" project focuses on the idea of destiny, and how it manifests as a positive force in our lives.
