Myles Rhea

Artist’s Statement

My name is Myles Rhea.  Since a young age, I knew I wanted to earn a career in the arts.  All my life I have enjoyed drawing, painting, sculpting, making pinatas, and doing anything that allows me to be creative.  I really like to experiment with many different mediums/styles of art.  Recently I have been trying to learn the process of digital art and graphic design.  I believe learning this type of art will give me the best job opportunities for my future.  My dream career would be to work for a business as a product designer or in the film industry as a character designer. 

After graduating from Skagit Valley College this Spring, I will be attending Western Washington University where I am hoping to get accepted into the Design Major Program.  The program will teach me the necessary skills of art and design so that I will be set up for a career as a graphic artist.
