I was lucky enough to take an interest in concept art when Brainstorm, Focal Point and other schools went online. Taking classes and structuring my path of a self-taught artist have been captivating and magical, at times frustrating and most of the time really challenging. I honestly didn't expect to learn so much about myself on this journey, it has been the most rewarding experience. Nonetheless, I am now looking for a project where I could use my skills and gain more experience. We are better learners when there is a place to apply that fresh knowledge. The main thing I've understood from attending concept art conferences and meeting other artists — I can't expect myself to be a "solitary unit" artist. Isolating in learning means missing out on opportunities to grow. So naturally, it is the next step for me in pursuing my passion — to put myself out there, to engage more actively in a community, to be a better artist and a useful team player. I've taken art fundamentals classes and environment design courses for the past few years, then I was lucky to have a mentor to show me the ropes and guide my work on portfolio. I am focused on environment art and prop design and would like to move towards more stylised aesthetics. I am really excited to show my work and hopefully get feedback on it.
