Growing up with a grandfather who was a professional watercolor painter, art has always been a part of who I am. I had wonderful mentors as a child and in high school. Throughout the years, I've competed in various art competitions, taught watercolor classes, participated in a tattoo apprenticeship and even published children's book illustrations. After exploring different outlets, I've focused on portrait art and expressive realism, specializing in memorial pieces and pet portraits. I mainly work with pencil, colored pencil and acrylic paint. 

      Custom artwork is priceless, especially memorial pieces. Getting to know my clients and the story behind their requests is important and I am always happy to take the time to talk to you to understand the meaning behind your art piece. :)
