Born and raised in Texas, and currently working in the greater Austin area. I attended Washington University in Saint Louis and later lived in the metro Washington, D.C. area, and in both cities, I appreciated exposure to a wider universe of design expressions. I have entered into and excelled in the corporate world, and yet I am still interested in continuing my paintings at every opportunity.

As a creator, art is essential to me; it is an inescapable pursuit that drives me to press into my own thoughts and my very existence, to imitate what it is that I see and feel about the world around me.
