I am an independent Artist who really needs support to realize projects that are aimed at educating and entertaining people of all works of life and age.
I am a traditionally trained artist skilled in multiple media disciplines, current Associates in Arts: Photography student with a completed Photography Certification, and proud Navy veteran with six years of free-lance photography hobby experience prior to college. My current focus is on my "Shattered Past" photo series where I photograph various types of antique broken glass with a variety of experimental techniques.
I have been designing for 10 years now and it wasn't until those final few years that I decided that it was something very special to me. I realized that I get inspired by so many things, a random thought while daydreaming, a song that completely takes my mind to another place or an oddly painted house that only through my own eyes, I could recognize the beauty and potential of.
