I truly wanted to represent this action, "Fossil Excavation". As I had originally wanted to study paleontology, before majoring in Fine Arts. I was fascinated by dinosaurs as a child and thought that this would be my future. However, life had other plans for me. I was diagnosed with a chronic illness known as EDS. It heavily affected my joints and it was wiser to abandon paleontology knowing how taxing on the body it can be on the field. Now I hope to merge my love for art and paleontology either through traditional art or even animation.
