Tell us about yourself and your artistic
background.
I have always been fascinated with drawing and
painting. This fascination and genuine curiosity as to
how to portray the 3-D world onto a 2-D surface is
what launched me into the never ending path of art
making. Most of what I learned in the early stages of
my art has been self taught. I would buy art books
and watch some videos online to teach myself. It was
not until my third year of college that I actually took
my first art class, this was beginning drawing. I feel
that the lack of formal education early on has shaped
the art that I currently make. It has allowed me to not
follow the rules of formal drawing and painting,
which then led me to be more free in my process.
