1990—now
Art and writing have been my lifelong loves. From age 7 I have been working on every medium I can get my hands on… my thirst for new artistic knowledge and mastery has shaped my life. I love to learn new mediums and techniques and, with the help of countless artists who’ve inspired me along the way, I’m entirely self taught. Dreams of art school loom though, so it may be a future step for me. After over 3 decades of practice, I am relatively well versed in mediums such as: acrylic, watercolor, sculpy clay, drawing with pens & charcoal, and ceramic painting.
I began writing in 7th grade when a writing contest led me to being published in a small, indie work. It lit a fire under me and before I knew it I was counting my collection of filled notebooks years later. I have created two zines with a total of seven issues, and I am releasing a book of my poetry in 2026 that will span 28 years of my work.
