PURSUIT 31 FREDERICK STYLED SHOOT {Walker's Overlook}

I started creating art at a very young age and it has always been tough to find community and support as an artist. People say, "You will never make money that way" or "Good luck with that". I always knew I would pursue something creative for my career but never realized I would have a community around me in the midst of it.
