Bio

I have been drawing since I was old enough to hold a crayon. I drew on every piece of paper I could get (and I'm sure sometimes on the walls as well. I had a very happy childhood. Mi favorite genre of art is realistic portraiture. I've always been fascinated by faces, and that was mainly what that I drew, even as a child. Gospel art and music were always prominent in my family when I was little, I sang along with my three sisters gospel music. I have several other relatives on both sides of my family who are talented artists. So you can To say that my interest is in my ADN, however, I believe that anyone with the interest, the curiosity and the determination can learn to draw and paint well, even if they think they are “not talented.” As many artists do, I started by drawing with graphite pencil and sometimes with charcoal. When I was in my teens, my parents gave me an easel, a set of pastels, and a pastel notebook. Over the years I have also worked Adopted in oil, acrylic, pastel chalk, colored pencil, charcoal, watercolor, etc. I started doing portrait commissions when I was 16 years old and I really enjoy it because I love helping people celebrate the special bond they have with a child, a pet, or another loved family member or friend through Comment art.
