Born in 1970, I’ve spent a lifetime learning and practicing artwork. Though I didn’t always know what direction I was heading, looking back, the path was obvious. From different jobs, travels, and all kinds of interesting, life changing choices I have knowingly and unknowingly followed a path right into my career as an artist.
Staying open to all the possibilities in my life has been a challenge and has been incredibly educational. I try to look at my choices as “learning lessons”. These “learning lessons” have molded me into the artist I am today.
Through various jobs I have acquired skills or "learning lessons" that are now utilized in my work. I have become a "jack of all trades" from computers to construction and have adapted these skills to enhance my artistry.
Just as career opportunities have helped to mold me and develop my art, traveling has also given me a deeper sense of awareness to my surroundings which is reflected in my art as well. Throughout my life, I have been given extensive opportunities to view our world and our nation.
Travel has instilled pride within me in our beautiful country and as a citizen of the United States of America. It’s easy to get caught up in the problems of our country, but we have these problems because we are free. I love being free! ...to express myself in so many ways, but especially through my art and graphics.
Life choices, job opportunities, and travel have all affected my art in one way or another. I'm starting to have fun taking on new challenges including interviews, portraits, and... And Then Some!! It’s been a crazy journey so far I can’t wait to see what’s next!
