I am inspired by the natural beauty of our world. My work consists of animals, flowers, sunsets, insects, or anything else that catches my eye. I work in several mediums such as oil, acrylic, watercolor with ink, and photography to capture moments that rouse my heart and soul. I paint on canvas, furniture, wood, paper, or any object that could turn out interesting. When I paint furniture, I give a piece of new life by refurbishing it with a design that enhances the shape and brings a unique style using elements of nature. Since I was a child, art has been my passion and my expressive outlet. I graduated from the Art Institute of Houston in Visual Communications and have had a long career in graphic design. My experience in marketing and photo art direction has provided me with a critical eye for detail and composition which flows over to my paintings and photography. I hope that my art inspires the same joy and fulfillment in others that it does for me. If I've had a paintbrush or camera in my hand, it's been a great day.
