Through most of high school and beyond my love of art mainly came out through music. I was a concert fanatic. I loved watching the aspiring bands make it big. I realized how much I loved other forms of art when I took the required basic art classes my junior and senior years. Most of the class would rush through a project to get it done by the end of the period, whereas I would carry mine around all day to work on it and make it perfect. I love getting lost in a painting and taking on new challenges to see if I can accomplish them.

It had been several years after high school since I had painted because college and my new career consumed my life. I am a self taught artist, and I have just played around with different textures and techniques so all my art varies. Recently I bought a house and painted a canvas for my bathroom. I had friends start commissioning me to paint for them, and soon I was painting a couple a month.

In April of this year I was asked if would be interested in participating in an event called Art and Stroll in downtown Paragould. I did, and it was fun to get out and show my work but there were not a lot of interested buyers.
