As a resident of Phoenix, AZ, I paint bold, contemporary interpretations of the Sonoran desert, vintage cars and objects surrounding me. My work always has an impact on the viewer, whether I work in Acrylic, Watercolor or Marquetry (wood inlay).
I have been painting & drawing ever since I was a small child. My mother would give me crayons & a coloring book when I was still in the crib. One day while getting the house cleaned up for a dinner party, I was left alone, while mom could clean the house. Well, to her horror, when she came back to the bedroom, i had ?drawn? on the crib, on the wall space, as far as I could reach! With no time to clean it up before the guests arrived, she did the next best thing?she brought everyone in to show off ?what her little artist had created?. With my first mural I was off to a running start! Since then, art has been my passion!
