Artist Statement:
I have been drawing for as long as I can remember but only started to paint in 1995 while recovering from a back injury. I didn’t take a class I just went and bought paint and started to paint. I started to receive commissions immediately. My work can be found in private collections around the world. After ten years of painting and selling my work, I took my first painting class in 2005.
I lost my maternal grandmother to Breast Cancer, my paternal grandmother to Colon Cancer, my mother to Myeloma and my sister has Autism.
