about me !

my skills
i have been drawing my whole life and i'm self-taught. i come from an artistic family, but i'm the only one in my family who still does art consistently. throughout my life, i have dabbled in traditional art, digital art, animation, video editing, photo editing, 3d modeling, and photography.i grew up considering myself to be pretty good with technology and programs (photoshop, after effects, etc.) than others my age because i was on the computer quite a lot, due to not being able to do "normal" active outside activities that other kids did when i was little.personal
i attended online school for high school and graduated a semester early! i rarely leave my house because i just don't have that much to do. most of my friends are online on twitter, and i love them dearly :) <3i'm atheist and bisexual, as i've grown older i've gotten even more passionate about feminism and... the many other issues that face this world.my disability
i have a rare form of muscular dystrophy called rigid spine muscular dystrophy. i also developed an auto-immune condition called dysautonomia in my late teens. two disabilties! how cool! (it gets really depressing sometimes.) i don't really talk about what it entails in detail frequently but i do talk about ableism on my socials.i will often repost instagram posts and reels on my story from disabled creators that i follow that include information that i think needs to be talked about or could help people learn. i try to educate others about disability and ableism, but it isn't my personal responsibility. follow other disabled creators to educate yourself!i use my electric wheelchair most of the time but i can walk on my own. i use my wheelchair because i do not have enough energy to walk long distances, and if i fall over, i can't get up myself, so it's mainly a safety measure.DISCLAIMER!!(not all wheelchair users are completely paralyzed and can't walk! :p)most. importantly. i'm not inspiring!!! (or worse, tragic.) oh my god. i'm just living and being awesome like everyone else!!!informational website about my disability if you want to learn morethats it x
