My name is Berenice Almaraz and I am currently a senior at Ronald Reagan High School. I believe all human beings are born with the instinct to configure, design, frame and distort the world surrounding them. From the moment we are born we contort the world around us to fit in ourselves. My journey through art began from the time I could grasp the pencil. I always had the need to create the thoughts in my head on paper for others to see. Although I did not expect it, my need to create would grow and I am now exploring different ways to feed that need.
