My name is Leexan Data, and I live in Kodiak, Alaska. My family and I migrated to the United States from the Philippines when I was 16. I graduated from Kodiak High School in 2008 and started working for the airlines in 2009. I received my AAS in Business from UAA in 2021, and I am currently working on obtaining my BA in Business from UAF. I enjoy playing video games and basketball during my free time. I also love art, especially canvas drawing, and paintings. I am really looking forward to learning more about art this semester. Additionally, I am excited about the idea of becoming a blogger!
I have chosen the painting "Spoliarium" by Juan Luna. Growing up in the Philippines, Juan Luna was considered a national hero due to his exceptional talent for painting, which was greatly admired by the Spanish people. I have always wished to see this painting in person, and I hope that one day I will have the opportunity to gaze upon it. I enjoy drawing myself, and I usually use pencils of different grades. I love visiting art museums, but living on a small island, our options for places to go are rather limited. Unless we travel to the main city, we won't be able to visit an art museum.
