Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, the arts have always been an influential part of my life. I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2006, obtained an AA in Art History, and the Arts opened up a new world to me. It gave me a higher appreciation of the cuture of the southwest, of Cubism, and catharsis. These three elements have been constant themes in my art. Self taught, painting since then has been a major preoccupation in my life; I have made over 500 paintings, received 2nd and 3rd in ABQPridefest Exhibition, and been a member of NMAL and CSA. I am currently looking for exhibitions and shows with a dream of owning my own gallery.
