About Me
I have been a lifelong artist, selling my first painting by the age of 12, and by 15, I was employed as an artist painting glass lamp shades.
I went on to earn a commercial art degree from Akron University, Akron, Ohio.
The determination to be a self-employed artist has taken me down many different paths from sign painting to illustration and design.
I have traveled the country painting restaurant murals and graphics and have had the privilege of painting murals and decorative art in some of the finest homes in my area of Florida.
My interest in décor design has been very helpful in creating art for each specific client and environment.
I have used many techniques over the years that have been incorporated into my commissioned fine art pieces.
The Process
I work in a variety of styles and mediums to accomplish the desired look for each unique situation.
After an initial client meeting which includes discussion, photographs, color swatches, themes and measurements, I go back to my studio and begin to sketch out ideas on paper.
This process evolves into a small-scale artist study which is presented to the client for approval.
