I’m from a small town in Ohio but I enjoy traveling when I can. In 2005 I started working more with graphic design, website programming and digital images. Although my first love will always be hands-on with paper and an easel, I am learning more about the graphics world. With a degree in Computer Drafting and Design and a background in Civil Engineering it seems a long way from my dream of having my own studio and gallery someday. For now the day job pays the bills and funds my shopping sprees at any art supply store.

In 2005 I was introduced to pastels and I fell in love. I still have so much to learn but I'm enjoying every min. Since I can remember I have always been involved in some form of art. Currently I am working on a pastel flower series.
