I've literally been an artist since I could hold a crayon. I love all mediums, I even wanted to explore graffiti, but never got around to that one. Drawing was my first love....drawing...whether it was with a pencil, pen, pastels or charcoal. For what ever reason, I was always drawn to people. A lot of my early work, in school was drawing and illustrating people.
Painting was a forbidden world to me, until my emotions got the best of me...and the paints were there, a canvas...and I had invested in an easel. So I finally let go of my fear of painting, in 2006. I started with Acrylics and now I also work with Watercolor. I plan to add oils to this list asap!
One of my many goals in life, is to continue to grow & become more skilled as a Fine Artist and Illustrator, which will definitely come in time.
