Hi!   
My name is Rebecca, though most people call me Becky! I am a 23 year old Animal Science student with the goal to eventually get a PhD in Animal Behavior. I love everything STEAM, which is STEM with art. I love discovering how things work and consuming as much knowledge I can about anything and everything, and in turn have found passions in art, engineering, math, and the sciences. I am a firm believer in the idea of consciousness in every living organism, and will happily argue with anyone who puts intelligence on a scale instead of understanding how everyone and everything thinks differently in unique and beautiful ways. With my art, I mainly draw/paint animals, however, I do like to challenge myself with human artwork on occasion, and recently have started painting abstract flower and plant designs.
      I enjoy doing many different types of art; including (but not limited to) painting, knitting, calligraphy, drawing/sketching, cooking (decorating baked goods or plates of food), sculpting etc.
      My ultimate goal with my life as of right now is to do observational field research in Animal Behavior- think Jane Goodall but with other animals (I love apes, but would prefer to push the limits of what animals are expected to be similar to ourselves.)

My Art Beginning 

I started out like everyone, drawing in preschool, but soon came elementary and middle school. I found I had a lot of trouble concentrating on classes, but when I was home listening to audiobooks and music, I loved to use pattern blocks to create designs. Soon, we needed graph paper in school and I discovered my pattern block designs could be converted to paper patterns. I found that drawing patterns actually helped me remember what teachers taught us during class. High school came and my patterns got more and more detailed, and eventually I even got much smaller graphed graph paper. My patterns became a lot more intricate and more complicated. I'd spend multiple weeks worth of history classes on a single one.

My patterns always had one thing in common, though they varied in shape, color, and patterns; they always had at least one line of symmetry. Most of my designs had at least 4, but the bigger they got, the more I could add.
If you are ever interested in learning how to do these, shoot me a message or email and I'll walk you through how to make them!! They are fairly simple to learn, most of the complexity comes from patience, details, and colors!
