I have been a professional artist since 2001. It all started out acting, but has now branched out into all aspects of creative expression. MSW Productions was borne to not only explore my own creativity but the wonderful, colorful magic in others. Through them, over the years in many places, I've been able to gain knowledge in almost every aspect of the creative world and continue to grow by working with people who are passionate about their craft and the pursuit of their absolute truth.
I have had a long term interest in painting and other art work, beginning when I was growing up. As a young person, I took a mail order art course which I enjoyed very much. After I married due to the responsibilities of family and employment, I had to suspend my interest in painting. Upon retirement several years ago, I again began painting.
