About Me

I was named before I was born and have been trying to figure out who I am since. Magnus, in Latin, literally means greatest. Seems like a heavy lift for an eight pound baby. So here is what I discovered about myself: Like my home state of Alaska, I am fiercely independent and resilient. I am curious and optimistic by nature and my quick wit has been both my friend and foe. My art is a work in progress like me. My greatness is in name only and still to be determined.
