I am a graphic design graduate turned passionate painter, originally from the small Missouri town of Higginsville, now living in Kansas City. My work, like the stamp-adorned heart design, reflects my focus on blending cultural symbols and local heritage into bold, illustrative compositions, inspired by the rich history and diverse community of Kansas City. This piece, ""Sending Love from the Heart"" draws from my love for storytelling through color and form, fueled by the dynamic energy of my surroundings and personal roots.
