I had the honor of showcasing my artwork at the Arno Maris Gallery at Westfield State University back in 2022. Being part of a student-led art show was a highlight of my artistic journey. I received the award for First Place in drawing with my self-portrait "Tempestuous" (Pictured below). Seeing my piece "Roundabout"(also shown below) recognized with the Second place in ceramics felt like a validation of my hard work in the studio. The experience fueled my passion for art like never before.
