My Background
My Inspiration
My Background
I found art much later in life. Starting with ceramics I quickly moved on to drawing. Having no real training other than some short online, non-graded, classes I consider myself a self-taught artist.
My Mediums
My Inspiration
My Background
I use many different mediums, such as color pencils, charcoal, but most of my current pieces are pastels pencils. You'll even find a few antique chairs re-imagined into western thrones!
