My name is Gareth Botha. I am a 24 year old artist and graphic designer living in Atlanta, Georgia. I have a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, with a concentration on graphic design. I was born in South Africa, and moved to the U.S. in 1998, when I was 14 years old. I am currently working as a designer for a branding and marketing company here in Atlanta. I became interested in art back in high school, where I studied drafting and mechanical drawing with intent of pursuing architecture as a career, but gradually became more and more interested in the freedom of creativity and expression in graphic design and art. Any and all forms of art interest me, and I love to draw, paint, take photos, or work on digital art, which is my primary medium.
