Audrey is a true creative, she gets joy from anything she makes herself. Whether its an acting performance, a photograph, a video, a prop, set design, or just sketching in her notebook in class. She believes the ability to create art is such an impactful beautiful thing about being human. Through art we see truth, we lose our ignorance and gain compassion for others. She would rather be poor and do what she loves than be rich and work on something her heart isn't in. She was born and raised in Southern Oregon, with parents who always dressed up to go to the theater or concerts, they appreciate art and she learned to appreciate it from them. There's beauty in just being still and noticing the life all around you, the little moments are important, they become who you are.
