I have been drawing ever since I was young and enjoyed using mediums such as colored pencil, charcoal, pastel, and graphite. When I was in high school, I enrolled in an AP art class and quickly learned how to paint using acrylic, watercolor, and oil paints. Unfortunately, I developed carpal tunnel in my dominant hand after finishing my portfolio of over 30 pieces in one year. I was advised to limit my painting as this could make it worse, but giving up painting completely was never an option for me. I decided to learn how to draw and paint with my feet! Even though I am now able to use my hand to paint for short periods of time (because of many physical therapy sessions, cortisol injections, and pain management techniques), I still do most of my painting with my feet. Below are some of my art features through the years including pieces done with both my hands and feet!
