About
I am a mixed media painter, using acrylic, charcoal, art crayons, oil stick, spray paint, and collage. I love talking about painting. I love to inspire others to find themselves through painting by sharing my passion and experiences.
I love painting. I enjoy working in my studio and I enjoy the challenges brought forth by painting. I love to display my work in gallery settings. I show my work around at various galleries in Albuquerque and also my work is represented by David Anthony Fine Art in Taos, NM.
