Studying Edgar Degas back in college, I loved his interpretation of dancers. I wanted to make a tribute to his work but in my own style. I began going to ballet shows and would take pictures to sketch them. I even starting going to see them in classes during their rehearsals to do live sketches. I was so passionate about it the professors asked me if I wanted to join the class. This ballerina painting made me discover my love for photography as well as my passion for painting dancers.
