Welcome to Artful Insights, a personal portfolio showcasing my passion for psychology, art, and writing. Explore a unique blend of academic work and creative expression, reflecting a journey of discovery and learning.
My journey through psychology
I have always been fascinated with the complexity of the human mind, the way people think, the behaviors they present and the impulse they hide, and the deepest depths of reflections, awareness, and experiences that occur with in the human participation of life that add depth through familiarity and bring the perspective to the grander picture of life.
About ME
Currently, I am 21 years old, I am studying for a Bachelor of Science in Studio Arts Management at Houghton University. I am Interested in various subjects like Psychology, Education, and Communications. I commute to school, and I am also a Crew Trainer at a McDonald's in Wellsville. It has been a creative process in overlapping classes in subject matter and approaches, and then turning around and experiencing it in real life. It amazes me every time to see the wonders with in the world and how things play out. I live in the middle of no where, but I grew up in the town of Bolivar New York. My best friend is my dog Scooter, When I am home he never leaves my side, and gets upset with me when I leave. I also post my art process and insights on Instagram, where I like to pair quotes and inspirations and wisdom through different perspectives and challenges.
My journey through psychology
I have taken classes on and off in the subject of Psychology since high school, the way people think, feel, act and behavior has always held me at a curiosity. My most up to date psychology class is the psychology of the personality where we have went over different theorist like Jung, Piaget, Rotter, and even Bandura. But I have had experience in educational psychology and made a Identity Vs Role Confusion discovered and developed by Psychologist like Erickson. I also have a power point on Existential freedom and destiny with in this section as well.
Highlighting my art
I have always wanted to create art as a child, it did not matter if it was painting, drawing, building massive chairs in the yard, I just wanted to relay beauty into the world. I have focused on art the last few years but didn't leave out other studies. I have shown my first watercolor, A part of the process through plaster and carving a piece. I have tried to relay personality through a toxic invested area of a Rat through play and vibrant colors.
