I've always been an artist. I started out scribbling with crayons and I just never stopped. I received a graphic design/advertising art degree in 2000 and worked in a corporate office as a graphic designer honing my design skills. After 2 years in a gray cubicle, I broke free and began painting large scale. I've painted 100 ft. walls and small nooks. I've painted murals and signs for corporations, non-profits, schools, small businesses, and homeowners from Green Valley to Phoenix and beyond. In my home studio, I play with a variety of mediums and textures.
