I am happily dedicated to creating art every day possible.
Working in a variety of mediums and actually enjoy most of them. To clarify, the outcome is always worth the struggle.
You may see anything from Oil, Acrylic, Pastel, Watercolor, Pencil, Clay and Photography in my portfolio.
My newest medium addiction is Alcohol Inks (No, you don't drink it). The colors are vibrant and the movement of the ink creates unexpected shapes.
As a career graphic designer working in the corporate world, freedom of movement and unexpected anything is a real pleasure.
