I define my work as an opinion to express, which is created to invoke the thoughts, emotions and impression of the viewer. Because art is subjective, I create so the viewer can effortlessly engage with the art. I create original abstract, expression, modern, realism and contemporary works of art.
My images are not confined to one subject matter or design, surface or medium. Canvases are always primed and each work a series of under paintings, layered one after another, until the final image is achieved, and I am confident the expression is complete.

Hello, I am an artist from Baltimore. I have been drafting and painting since I was a child. I won 1st place in a nation wide art contest in the 5th grade and never looked back. I have exhibited only in Florida for a few smaller galleries. My favorite media is colored pencils and gouache but I have had much experience in oil, watercolor, egg tempora and even now learning digital work. I make art for the love of art and being creative and it is my passion and love in life.
