Biography
There’s a rush of adrenaline that rises up in me when I see certain paintings. What is it exactly, that gets my heart pumping when I see these pieces? To me, it’s all about the lighting, the color, the expressive brushstrokes, and being able to capture the essence of life.
I first knew I
wanted to be an artist when I was in 8th grade. I was blessed to have a
compassionate teacher that invested in me and greatly encouraged me
along the way.
Growing up in a
military family, I traveled around the world and was exposed to many
cultures. My parents "dragged" me to many museums, and as I look back
am so thankful for all of those experiences as they greatly influenced
my direction as an artist.
I
enjoy painting a variety of subjects, but most importantly expressing
them with exciting colors, lighting, and emotion. I am eternally
thankful to God for all He has done, and for allowing me to do what I am
most compelled to do: express myself through my painting.
I hope you enjoy your visit!
