Artist Statement

I live in Powder Springs, GA having moved to Georgia in 1999 from Stockton, California.

I started working on my art degree by attending the Academy of At College in San Francisco, California; although I moved to Georgia before completing my degree I have continued my studies by taking workshops.

I usually paint in oil which is my preferred medium. The paintings that I do are usually portraits; because I find people fascinating and challenging.

Before I start painting I usually take a few moments to get to know the subject by studying them.

This allows me to get a feeling for the personality of the person and to tell their story.
