Bio:
I am a self-taught artist.  For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be an artist and was constantly drawing and painting.  When I was in eighth grade, my sketching of George Washington Carver was placed on permanent display in the Federal Building located in downtown Shreveport, LA.  During high school and college, I continued to sketch and paint for personal enjoyment, however I didn't have much time or money to pursue it professionally.  Now that I am out of college, I am enjoying this opportunity to learn and grow as an artist. 

For me, painting revolves around my continued discovery and exploration of the world around me.  It is a life long learning process that I hope to share with others as I develop my skill and technique.
