Be Yourself

April 4th, 2018

Be Yourself

Although I’ve been creating artwork for most of my life, it is not until recently that I’ve chosen to start branding my artwork under Paris Hill Reflections. I grew up near a town named Paris Hill and I find a lot of inspiration in looking back to the place, events, and people around there. I’ve always wanted to be an artist as a child, but never found it an easy task since I felt I lacked the natural drawing ability. It wasn’t until my senior year in High School that I rekindled the idea of being an artist when I turned to drawing as a means of meditation. Which then lead to attending college for computer animation where I met many other artists and professionals of all ages following their dreams. Never in my life had I witnessed such positive people with constructive criticisms and mutual respect for each other’s strengths and weaknesses. That environment allowed me to develop my ability and create a style my own - along with a healthy defense to criticism and opinions. Although my education didn’t lead to a career in animation, I found my place back in NY helping others with their designs, films, and projects. Seeing other people realize their vision is a great experience, however it left my own artwork on the back-burner for a long time. Paris Hill Reflections is the rebirth of my personal artwork with a focus on telling my stories through drawings, paintings, films, and projects.
