Artist Bio
When I was in grade school and high school i did a lot of art. I like to think it offered me an incredible foundation for what would come much later. In high school i studied under Walt Bartman, doing oil painting. I was accepted into the Maryland College of Art and Design on a figure drawing scholarship program that they offered to high school students when I was 16. After high school i went on to pursue my other passion -- helping people. I've spent the last 25 years working as a psychotherapist. Sometime in the middle of all of that i had kids (twins), and eventually came back to drawing in 2017. What I do now is primarily self-taught, though I do feel my training and education as a child have created an invaluable foundation for my work today. I've watched countless hours of slowed down youtube videos and tutorials, and have spent thousands of hours drawing, practicing, and improving. It's been a wonderful and challenging journey, and I've loved every minute of it! My goal moving forward is to continue to learn and challenge myself as I transition to art full-time. I feel the next step is to get my name out there to the art world.
