Raised in Aberdeen, a small southern Ohio town. I spent many passing hours with a #2 pencil and a sketch book. As many artists, I found myself consumed with drawing at an early age. I often found extra money sketching illustrations or painting shop windows in nearby towns. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1995 from the Ohio State University. Focusing on three different fields of study: print making, mixed media, and painting & drawing. I have also had the pleasure of being a member of the Ohio Arts League for numerous years.

My goal in life is to continue drawing and creating art for the rest of my years. Sharing my passion for art at the same time bringing happiness to others through my work.
