Thanks to a mother who saved all my artwork as a kid, I can honestly say with proof that I've always been an artist.  I have been blessed with an exciting professional journey that has allowed me to earn my living through painting and designing for over 16 years.  In most recent years, I have moved from working full time in the entertainment industry to becoming a successful artistic entrepreneur with my creative partner Gayle Etcheverry.

As I travel on further, I hope to inspire others to enjoy the beauty in everyday life and if you want to pursue a career in art... IT CAN BE DONE!  Just stick with it!

I'm happy to share my artistic expressions here with you and aspire to continue creating many more meaningful Artist/Patron relationships either through my paintings, photos, or private mural commissions.  Some beautiful examples of murals and custom paint  projects can be seen in an online portfolio at www.prettyinpaint.net.

Photography is a natural pastime for me and I love the process of being inspired by a photo and abstracting that either by a natural painterly interpretation or with fun tools on a computer.  As someone who has tinkered around with many mediums and surfaces, I never know what I'm going to end up doing.  I just know that I strive to produce an end product that is reflective and makes someone happy.

If you, my virtual visitor, have an image, idea, or memory you would like immortalized, contact me and perhaps we can collaborate on something wonderful.

Lastly, I wish for all the ability to shut out the negative noise that is fueled around us daily.  Good things are bountiful if we take the time to look and appreciate.               

Peace
