A little history

---

Although I did not fully realize it, I began my love of art at an early age. 

 My grandfather was an artist and I remember, as a child, watching him paint. When I was 10, he painted me a piece of art for Christmas, (the one featured here). It hangs in my living room today, over 35 years later. 

Little did I know, that piece of art would inspire me to start creating my own artwork. 

In 2018, I was struggling to find something to keep my mind occupied. Feeling a bit lost and uninspired, I randomly came across an ad for paint by number artwork. I purchased a couple, and suddenly the flood gates opened. Keeping my mind focused, while creating at the same time, set off a chain reaction in my soul.

 I began modestly, doing the paint by numbers, watching Bob Ross videos online, and I learned as I went. I started creating my own work. Trying new things, learning new styles, and making new loves. I am always still learning, absorbing methods and styles like a sponge. I now see art everywhere I go. A sunset, the leaves on a tree, the ridges of a mountain, even the architecture of a building. Art has opened my eyes to so much more! From the haphazard of abstract and fluid art, to the refinement, and precision  of landscape, I hope you will follow me on my journey and enjoy my process as much as I do!
