I first started painting around 2010 for a college class 'Color and Composition'. I did one watercolor and one acrylic. I soon discovered how much I enjoyed watercolor and stuck with that for about a year. After months of much aggravation with not achieving the bright colors I desired, I decided to give acrylics a shot again. Once I understood the layering process, I became fascinated and discovered a new passion, and have never looked back since.
I have an Associate Degree in Advertising Design and a Bachelor Degree in Media Design - Digital Publishing.
I now work on mostly landscapes, but every once in a while I will do a portrait - human or animal - and maybe a still life. I've recently moved out to Northern California and have just scratched the surface with exploring the landscape and painting the scenery.
