I am a MD based artist living in Silver Spring with my wife and young son. I produce fine art charcoal drawings that I regularly enter into exhibitions on a local and national level. I have participated in over 25+ juried exhibitions over the last 4 years in an effort to hone my style and craft. I am currently applying to art shows with District Arts (In Frederick, MD) as well as to a fellowship program at Touchstone gallery in Washington, DC. I am seeking the funds to help with my operating costs as an independent artist.
