She has been an art student since 2016, and only continues to perfect her craft. She is interested in going into economics/business for her future. She created this organization with the hopes of promoting art among youth in New York and supporting other artists, like herself. She is excited for everyone to see the art of the new generation!

Empowering Young Artists, Igniting Creativity, and Supporting Arts Education!
