A Little About Me...
'To me, it's all art, inside the studio and out. At least it is if we approach our lives that way.”
― Terri Windling
Growing up, I started drawing about the time I could grasp a crayon, and I was later taught painting in the traditional European studio style by the late June Kelly. Currently, I am experienced with oils, acrylic, chalk pastel, charcoal, graphite, and ink. Occasionally, I dabble with clay and watercolors as well. I work full-time as a Research Scientist & Writer and hope to start a PhD in the next year, but I always try to make time for art.
Creativity is my personal therapy. My goal is to provide original art at an affordable price to any who seek it, and that is possible because I often recycle frames and other art materials. Purchases can be made in-person at the following locations:
