Statement

Born into a family of artists, I picked up any artistic tool I could lay my hands on as a child. Whether it was a crayon or my mom's lipstick, I was constantly drawing anywhere and anytime I could. Even on the walls where I thought my parents wouldn't find it (they did). My mom is a constant inspiration to me and taught me how to draw and paint as I grew up. I took some art classes in high school, but never really focused on it. Instead, I got my degree in history and moved into the corporate world. But art still called to me. Although I work full-time in IT, I make time to continue with my artistic endeavors and find that it is a good way to express myself and let my thoughts and feelings go into whatever I'm working on.
