Hi everyone! It's been quite a while since my last updates. I'm just busy as always. I moved rooms in preparation for moving out this Fall and have been winding down on certain projects at school. So art's been kind of low on the priority list these days. As well as that, I've given my "Art & Identity" lecture/workshop at another LGBTQ+ convention and have been working tirelessly on presentations for my interviews later this week in Los Angeles as a scholar finalist for The Point Foundation! This opportunity would allow me to have a 4 year scholarship, mentor, and travel/speaking/activism opportunities for my work with the LGBTQ+ communities! So, I'm just finishing everything up for now. If I get this opportunity, I'll be sure to post my presentation poster to show what I've been up to! So, with that-- I'll update hopefully with more art after I get settled again after being in Los Angeles. (It's across the country for me. Time change is a killer.)
Have a great week!
PS: Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! I'm now an adult! (Sure doesn't feel like it at times)

Late March Updates
1 min read
Hi all, it's been a while! First off, I opened a shop on etsy with a couple pieces. I'll be updating throughout the year: www.etsy.com/shop/artofcaseyho….
Other than that, I'm waiting on a few scholarships and programs and working on a ton of graphic design projects for different organizations and projects I work with. (Hence, less art this month) But I should be starting on a few things this week. It's getting warmer outside too, so I'm more apt to sketch outside.
Have a good week, everyone!

College??!! and Snow Day Laziness
2 min read
Hi everyone, so uhh... I'm pleased to announce that I'm enrolled in college! I'll be studying for a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture at California Polytechnic Institute of Pomona's College of Environmental Design! The news came much earlier than expected and I've been ecstatic ever since. So, I guess I'll be packing my bags in September. I can't believe I'm going so far away for college, but it's for the best as I'll be close to Disneyland for internship opportunities and networking! Plus, the area is just beautiful and vibrant on its own. And the weather? I can't stand anything under 40, so I'm thrilled with my decision. For now, I'll dream about it and sign off on my housing and enrollment forms. Also, I'm a semi-finalist for the Point Foundation scholars program for LGBTQ+ students. I'm so honored to have been selected for these opportunities. Things are happening so fast!
Back to the now, I've had the entire week off of school due to a snow-storm and record low temperatures. And I've been surprisingly unproductive with this time. I've got a lot to do before my March senior show and will be going to Chicago next week for a field trip, so I better get some progress out soon. (Plus, not long until AP portfolios are due) So, we'll see what happens after some work.
With a load of worry off my back (college admissions processes are rough), I wish you all a good and hopefully warm weekend! (It's been -20 here at night!)

February Updates
2 min read
Hello all, as always I've been busy in preparing for scholarships, college, and my senior art show. Among that, I've finished a lot of works and have been doing all sorts of other activities. The big news in the past few weeks is that I've received 2 honorable mentions from the regional Scholastic Art and Writing awards and have been published by the Huffington Post on an article I wrote about transgender policy issues in the state of Kentucky. (Read up here!: www.huffingtonpost.com/casey-h… bathrooms_b_6510862.html). What else, just school in general. No college or scholarship acceptances as of yet, but fingers crossed for March!
I'll be posting some art and hopefully getting a chance to respond to a lot of messages and kind comments I've received lately this weekend. Have a great week, everyone!
