I pretty much been an artist my whole life. I always love the idea of mixing colors when I was younger just to see how it would turn out. When I had to pick classes in High School every year, I would take an art class even though I didn’t need it. I’ve also always been into photography. I won a People Choice Award and have some of my photography in the 2018 Patterson Park Calendar. I also hand painted a Cicada for the 2021 Parade-a that’s currently hanging on Falls Rd. During the Pandemic I decided to try a different form of art which was working with Epoxy Resin.
