About
I have been painting and drawing for over 15 years. I teach high school art, and show my paintings in local juried art shows.
Painting and drawing is my life. I have worked very hard developing my skill and like to share my knowledge with other artists. I relate very well with adolescences and beginner artists, as well as people wanting to get back to doing their art.
