Creating art is something I have been doing all my life. As a child and

adolescent I was always drawing and painting. Over the years I have

developed my talent by reading, studying the work of other artists, and

with a lot of practice. My favorite mediums are ink and colored pencils and

acrylic paints. I am largely influenced by all things in nature and unknown

frontiers. I am fascinated by the possibility of worlds beyond our own and

how we are connected to those other existences. In the area that I live

the art community is just beginning to develop. It is very difficult to gain

exposure in the local galleries unless you do landscapes or portraits,

which I do not. I know my art is exceptional. I just need to bring my art to

the right audience. No matter what the future brings I will never stop

being an artist.
