Since I can remember, I have been drawing, painting and dabbling in the arts. Art has always been a part of who I am. However, it wasn't until college that I truly began to pursue it. I loved laying the images within my mind onto paper. But the phrase "starving artist" seemed to remain in the back of my mind. So I headed towards graphic design. It proved to be successful for me. It was never boring and always a fun challenge of my creativity. Unfortunately, it was also extremely stressful and demanding of my time. In fact, it pretty much took up all of my time. That to me was not the way I wanted to spend my life. I believe you should love what you do and do what your great at. It should be a passion from within you that you control, not a controlling force upon you. So here I am sharing a part of me with all of you. I hope that through these pieces of artwork you will find a passion for art that will inspire you for years to come.
