Lists


Locations: Born in Houston living in an apartment, don’t remember this area as I was very young. Parents decided to move because of safety. Moved to Porter, Texas near New Caney, where I mostly grew up. Lived there for a about 10 years, then moved to Conroe where I currently live in panorama village.
Relational paths:  Lived with my parents and sister for most of my life. Had your typical brother/sister relationship until we both matured. We’ve both grown closer since then. Always had a good relationship with my parents, very loving, although my mom has always been very protective. Sister moved to Austin for college about 4 years ago.
Education: Began schooling in a private kindergarten, moved to porter elementary for up through 4th grade. Most significant thing I remember from there is my days in the GT class, and the teacher who is still the best teacher I’ve ever had. I decided to move to New Caney elementary after my mom had been working there for a while, which might have not been the best idea as I ran into some bullies there for a short while. I then went on to Keefer crossing middle school for three years, where I met many of the friends that persist today, one of the best times being in counselor aid with my friend Justin. Also had one of my first art classes there. Then moved on to new caney high school, where I met many more of my current friends, and for the first time really started to get to know myself and to fit in. 2 years in, we had been living in Conroe for a while, and my mom stopped working in the school district there, so I moved to Willis high school, were it took a while to find a group of friends, but luckily I knew someone from where I was living at the time. Now im in my second semester of college.

Drive: I’ve always drawn, ever since I could remember, and was always interested in working with materials other than pen and paper. As I got older, I found myself interested in certain cartoons, which I later learned was anime. I also began to get deeper and deeper into videogames. These were probably the two biggest influences in my hobbies and my art, as well as my current chosen career field. This is what has driven me to my current major in animation. I never really knew what I really wanted to do, but ive really found joy in the making of props and really want to learn my way around 3d modeling and animation as well.

Modular final

Overall the things i liked best about this piece is the installation, it fits really well into its place and flows well with the area, and the attachment of it to the wall and the bottles themselves together is really smooth. I really think, looking back, that I could've made it a little wider up top, and added a few more rows coming out the left side or something. The piece blended really well, but almost too well.
