Intro: Newbie to the Steemit world! Visual Artist.

Hello, New Steemit world I am very excited and nervous to become a new member!

Here is a little bit about my self and my work:

I am a Toronto-born artist who works with a variety of media, primarily photography, painting, and drawing. I am currently majoring in Drawing and Painting. My work has won 19 Scholastic’s Arts and Writing Awards, including one Gold Key Award for an Art Portfolio, three Gold Key Awards for Photography, five Silver Key Awards for Photography, and one Silver Key Award for Painting. My work was selected for Propeller Gallery's juried exhibition during Nuit Blanche in 2014 and has also shown at galleries such as Twist Gallery, Artscape Youngplace, Artisans at Work, Propeller Gallery, along with Daniels Spectrum. I was a speaker at ART TALK 4 at OCAD University in 2015. I was chosen as one of the top 20 finalists in the Parsons competition I Am The New School in 2015. Alondra was also one of the Art Jurors of the 2016 and 2017 Etobicoke School of the Arts applicants. I recently had a solo show at Propeller Gallery in June of 2017

Art is a tool to express and communicate with the existing world around us. It is a therapeutic process where I can understand myself and my values. It is both internal and external work. Through art, I witness patterns within societal interactions. For example, how subcultures emerge, flourish and relate to other mainstream cultures. I am interested in how people view themselves, self-examine, and interact with one another. My work is about relationships, connections, and human psychology. I am interested in the human condition in contemporary life but also how it has evolved through time. Some of my pieces reference psychological theories and our brain structure.

I hope you can enjoy the work!
