Tristian’s Story

Fueling Art & Expression

"I find inspiration in creating new shapes, wowing parents and doing things I haven't done before. They keep me alive. It’s all about the art and expression. "

The proudest moment in my career is when I was a grooming instructor for Petsmart, and I was able to have local shelters in the areas I was teaching bring their dogs in for my students to practice and learn on. At one competition my dogs threw up on himself on the way to the competition. I wasn’t able to get past it even though I had so much help once I arrived at the show. From that experience I learned that I shouldn’t allow things to take such a negative hold on me ever.
