The Art and Thoughts of
Hey, Welcome!
You could be here for a number of reasons:
I told you to look at pictures of Mumfry, my adorable red-footed tortoise. In that case, click here.
You wanted to look at my art. Awesome! There’s a lot of that. In that case, click here to head to the “Works” page.
You would like to read a teenager’s thoughts about art. Uh, interesting choice when you could be reading some worthwhile Malcolm Gladwell or Charles Duhigg books, but in that case you’ll want to click here to view my blog.
You wanted to sign up for my sporadic newsletter! Seriously, I don’t even know when the next issue will be sent. Maybe in a month? Two? In that case, click here, and there’s an email submission form just above the blog posts.
Last, and most likely, you’re lost (or family). In that case, feel free to browse! If you don’t like websites, I downloaded every social media app for fun, and cycle using them as I get inevitably bored of each. I say it’s for branding purposes, but really I’ve just been incapable of maintaining consistency. There are enough of them to justify a Linktree, which you can click here to view.
My Mumfry
For those unaware, Mr. Mortimer Mumfrys is my red-footed tortoise, and a true king. He shall be spoilt to the fullest extent at all times. Whether that means extensive photoshoots, custom enclosures, free reign and political power, or elaborate meals, I shall spare no expense.
Luckily for you, there is a large treasury of photos here on this website for you to view of the one and only.
Bit About Me
Let’s sum it up with: I have a lot of thoughts and opinions, but I want to share them well, so I’m studying Human Communications at Indiana Wesleyan.
The thoughts and opinions tend to revolve around art quite frequently, so I enjoy relaying them here in writing and image. I also quite enjoy video games, entrepreneurship, tennis, reading, and generally learning about new things from people who are passionate about them. Finally, whatever I decide to do, I tend to do it to an extreme (so I have a LOT of cardboard…)
Why a Blog?

What good is creativity if it isn’t shared? While art may always remain a hobby for me (with the occassional commission for friends and family), I can still share it with the world through a website. Sure, social media can be a fantastic outlet, but I can control more aspects of and be more consistent on a website here than I can with the ever-changing platforms out there.
As an 18 year old, I’ve got a bit of art knowledge, but so much more to learn. This is a place I can share my interests and experiences in visual arts, both past and present. If you don’t stay for the art or writing about art and how it relates to whatever I’ve been thinking about… stay for Mumfry! (Yes, he is my pet tortoise, and yes, he is cooler than anything else on this website.)
