History & Statement of Purpose<!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">As founder of Faith & Company, my goal is to provide quality services in the hopes of touching the lives of others while impacting the world around me through the visual arts.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I began my artistic career in the visual arts, early in life. </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">As I recall, it was one of my much older brothers that drew my giftings to its surface.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">One day, after he had drawn a portrait of myself, I in return, decided to mimic what he had done by drawing a portrait of him. </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">From that day forward, it was my mother who caught the vision and encouraged my elementary teachers to work with me as my skills for the fine arts grew.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I accredit Carmen Bayard, Irene Maskaly, Mary Anne Morgan, and Sharon Crosthwait for my growth and development in the arts throughout elementary and high school. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Since, I have worked with numerous fine art instructors in creating a strong portfolio in which I am quite proud of.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In 2007, in enrolled with </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The University of the Arts</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> to study industrial design.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I had found of love for planning, blueprinting, and building.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">However, shortly after my interests in music and dance became overwhelming and compelled me into theater.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Now, in 2009, I am continuing my studies, at the </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Ira Brind School of Theater Arts</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">, within </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The University of the Arts,</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> in

</span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I have had the honor of working with numerous prestigious faculty members: </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Amy Feinberg, director of productions such as, Melanie Marnich’s </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"><span

achievements), actor/director Johnnie Hobbs Jr, who is well known for his work with the </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Freedom Theater</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> in North Philly(upon other achievements), Gene Terruso, past artistic director of </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Provincetown Playhouse</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> (upon other

class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">As the scripture discloses, according to Matthew 15:14-30, I often wondered about the many giftings I felt the Lord had placed in my heart and their impact on the world around me.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">As the story goes (in reference to talents being a measure of finances) he who did nothing with his talent was punished, whereas he who invested his talents gained a great reward.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"

</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Thus, my goal ever since has been to utilize all my gifts, with the belief that through “using,” I will not only impact those around me but also bring myself into a place of increase.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I hope that by rendering my gifts to the public I will be able to be blessing.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
