About the Artist (A little bit about me and my art background)
I am a self taught artist how has been painting since the age of 15 and drawing since the age of 8.
I consider myself self taught although I did attend The University of Texas in Dallas with the intent of gaining a degree in Fine Art. Unfortunately UTD was not a very good art school and they never really taught me how to DO art, create a portfolio or even market my work They basically just gave me a place to paint, some supplies and told me to make art. All of that I have learned on my own through research and trial and error. While in school I sold my art both online and locally as well as selling in countries all over the world, including: England, Italy, Australia, Japan, Canada, and the US. I soon was unable to afford to continue my education and had to go back to work.
I now paint in my spare time while raising my 3yr old son and managing a local sandwich shop here in Dallas. I have now finally begun to paint what I want to again and am planning to go back to school to finish my BFA in Fine Art as a part time student this fall. Since I have a little one now and money is tight ( as it is when you have a family to support) I am selling my paintings and prints to earn the money to go back to school. My dream is to provide quality art to the world and live the rest of my life as an artist.
