On Friday, August 21st, I had the great honor of attending a masterclass with Golden Globe and Best Actress in a Drama Series winner Rhea Seehorn @rheaseehorn. Additionally, one of the questions I submitted for the event was selected, and I got to directly ask Rhea my question. Following the masterclass, I also had the opportunity to have a few personal conversations with her and take photos.

Rhea is best known for her big performances in Vince Gilligan’s Better Call Saul and Pluribus, but meeting her in person also showed me how authentic, bubbly, and incredibly friendly she is. Thanks again to Dodge for the opportunity. #dodgecollegeoffilmandmediaarts #chapmanuniversity #rheaseehorn #bettercallsaul #pluribus taken in Dodge College of Film & Media Arts at Chapman Univer by @grey_everett_smith

I was born in Columbus, Ohio, but moved to South Bend, Indiana, when I was 3 years old. My formative years were centered around being exposed to the arts at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center at the University of Notre Dame. With my father being the creative director, I had the opportunity from a young age to see art from different perspectives, scopes, and points of view.

But when I moved to Granville, Ohio, in the 5th grade, the transition was hard. I didn’t really thrive in the science and math favoring environment at my school. I struggled to fit in and was often left out or not included, whether that was in class, on the soccer field, or outside of school. And many people judged me for my individualistic lifestyle and for pursuing the arts.

Over my four years of high school, I attended the prestigious Interlochen Arts Camp three times, received seven Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Awards for my stop motion animation films, created a large collection of work that I’m proud of, and even painted a large scale mural at a local Mexican restaurant, Day Y Noche, by myself.

But despite everything, there were still people who overlooked my talent, my worth, and what I had to offer, not just as an artist but as a person.

So, to my family and close friends who have supported me throughout this journey, I am beyond grateful for all the love and encouragement you have given me.

And to everyone who judged, criticized, and directly or indirectly insulted me: you only served as fuel for me to keep going. I’m very excited to continue my journey at Chapman University, where I’ll be studying Film and Television Production with an emphasis in Cinematography.

My Day y Noche mural is now COMPLETE!

After a little over two months of painting, this wall is finally done. Started by blocking in the main colours and slowly worked my way into the details—building patterns, adding “push and pull” depth, and adding the line work that brings all of the details together.

Thanks again to Anselmo Morales for the opportunity. I hope everyone enjoys it as they sip on a nice Mexican Coke!
