10+ Years of Learning and Perfecting My Style

My name is Castalia, but I go by Stalia.  I am a college student working my way up to a career in Animation.  I live with my parents and two siblings.  My fur baby shown here is my Chihuahua Jack Terrier mix.  He is about 4 years old and I have had him since he was a puppy.  He is my best friend and goes everywhere with me.  

Art has always been an escape for me.  I had trouble connecting with peers throughout school and I turned to art to express myself.  I learned many different techniques over the years and have taken an interest in learning animation.  I enjoy using Procreate and Blender and have learned a lot of new things I am able to do with both.    

I am excited to see what the future holds as I obtain my AAS this spring semester and journey off to Seton Hall University to pursue my Bachelor of Arts.  I hope to learn the skills necessary for a career in Animation and look forward to the internship opportunities offered to put all my skills to use.
