During the early stages of the pandemic, as school and other extracurriculars were shutting down, I began to develop an even greater passion for art, and painted new pieces every day.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, not everyone was fortunate enough to be able to provide proper meals for their family or sufficient food on the table. I realized I could make a difference, and developed this website and uploaded all of my artwork onto it and established my end goal: raising $1000 dollars in 2020 for my local food bank  Martha's Kitchen

In May I received the opportunity to visit and tour the local food bank with executive director Bill Lee. Martha's Kitchen, located in San Jose, was a well organized, open space for anyone to receive meals during tough times and was always open to volunteers.

A local news channel, ABC7, interviewed me for a segment on their nightly news for "Building a Better Bay Area." After this clip, my site began to really take off, with dozens of orders–some of which I shipped and others I personally delivered.

In September of 2020 I finally reached my main goal of $1000 for Martha's Kitchen, after selling more than 40 paintings total!
