I have had a passion for writing since a was about 10 years old. I believe that a writer's work should inspire, provoke or effect the emotions of his readers to the point of some sort of reaction...whether good or bad. I have a bachelor's degree in journalism and have been a business owner since 2004.

I'm an artist working out of Tucson, Arizona. I'm completely new to selling my talent but I'm hoping that handicap fades away quickly. I specialize in portraits but I love drawing the human body, animals in motion, and nature. I have roughly 23 years of experience in this art form alone so it's safe to say I can draw just about anything.
