My art is as much a portrait of emotion as much as it is a portrait of anyone or anything specific. Evoking feelings, pushing boundaries, whether in color or black & white, my art continues to combine abstraction, realism, and minimalism.
I was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. I honed my art skills by learning from my brother and sister. I always did well in art, any media I used I was comfortable with. All the way through high school, , and art school. I guess it came too easy, I didn’t take is seriously until my best friend died. I was in Cleveland, 1999, when I decided to get serious. My art has grown exponentially since then. I’ve reached a point where I’m very proud of my work.
