Bio
I was born in Sharon, Pennsylvania and now currently from the Seattle area. At a very young age, I had an intense passion to draw. I was happiest when I was drawing and my dream was to be an artist. However, while in high school, I was discouraged by those in authority, telling me that artists don’t make it in life, I’d have to choose another profession. Sadly, I did not pursue formal art training and drawing ceased to be a part in my life as I pursued other interests.

But my love of art has resurfaced-and I feel as though I’ve been re-born.

My love for painting is a recent one, although it was love at first sight. Roughly, I’ve been painting for about 6 months. I consider my work to be contemporary pop art style portraiture leaning towards photorealism. Painting as a whole appeals to me and I can assure you that portraiture will not be my final destination. I find beauty in all forms of art and look forward to the opportunity to learn as many as I can. For the most part everything thus far has been self taught by learning on the job so it’ll be interesting to see what school will do for me.
