About Jack:

Jack is an undergraduate student at McMaster University studying the visual arts. Through public school or private lessons, art has always been his passion and he’s always pushing himself creatively. Currently, he’s mainly focused on digital art, photography and photo editing. This has allowed him to use his environment to form pictures and compositions that are out of this world. Ultimately, he hopes to be like the teachers who inspired him to grow and flourish in an artistic space and share the many possibilities of photo editing with others.
