About
I have over 30 years of experience as an illustrator, mural, and portrait artist, as well as airbrushing on everything from t-shirts to large scale murals and signage.
My greatest satisfaction in art is giving customers a piece of artwork that they love. And as a teacher, I love being able to pass on to future generations the joy of art and the lessons I have learned.
