This year has been nothing short of a blessing. I wrapped up my freshman year at Truman State University, so grateful that God gave me the gift to create!! I’m excited I can honor him through my work. Every project is a reminder that He is the ultimate Creator. Here are the pieces I created in photography class. All glory to God for leading me through this year, not only through my art classes but math and business as well!! taken in Truman State University by @smellen17

This year has been nothing short of a blessing. I wrapped up my freshman year at Truman State University, so grateful that God gave me the gift to create!! Every sketch, sculpture, and project is a reminder that He is the ultimate Creator. Here are a few pieces from observational drawing, 3D design, and a glimpse of Layout and type with the 3D drop cap.
