I took a serious reflection on my art, what I wanted to say and share as an artist, and ultimately the collective degrees of value I place upon me as an artist and and my work as a whole. I put more thought, heart, and consideration in the later portions of my work and began writing about my work and thinking more on the ideas surrounding it.

This year was quite a blow artistically. I think this was thus far the most aimless I've been with my art and as an artist myself. nonetheless I was able to be a part of a project that changed both my life and the life of a family.

This year marked my freshman year of high school. I began formally developing my skills as an artist, sorting my interests, learning a bit about art history, and sorting out my interests. I earned a valuable support system from both peers and teachers alike, but in this moment in my life i haven't realized the wisdom I've been bestowed and have yet to be granted.
