I do small to large oil paintings inspired by my Midwest upbringing and home. I am an impressionistic artist with which I am very comfortable with the freedom it allows. I love the beauty and texture of the landscape and the power of the wildlife with the free nature of the subjects I paint.

I do small to large oil paintings inspired by my Midwest upbringing and home. I am an impressionistic artist with which I am very comfortable with the freedom it allows. I love the beauty and texture of the landscape and the power of the wildlife with the free nature of the subjects I paint.
I graduated from American Intercontinental University in Chicago and graduated in 2012 with a BFA in graphic design and went on to Academy of Art University in San Francisco and graduated in 2018 within MFA in drawing and painting. I feel I have a well-rounded education to pursue my lifelong passion for painting. However, I have been painting and drawing since I was a child in middle school and through a horrific car accident in 1989, it brought to making art full-time.

But during and after my time in completing my master’s degree I was introduced to so many different medium. So now while I still do a lot of oil painting I have really went back to my roots and picked up the pencil again. I have found a renewed sense of accomplishment in doing so, and I still do portraits, animals and landscapes but in pencil too

I do a lot of animals, both in oils and pencil which is out of my love for wildlife. I’m inspired by their untamed beauty and the human qualities that they sometime display. To live in Missouri, I see some of the most fantastic landscapes and the colors that you see in them. The portraits are dear to me because I’m doing someone’s loved
I do a lot of animals, both in oils and pencil which is out of my love for wildlife. I’m inspired by their untamed beauty and the human qualities that they sometime display. To live in Missouri, I see some of the most fantastic landscapes and the colors that you see in them. The portraits are dear to me because I’m doing someone’s loved one which in turn brings them great joy. I would like to thank Ann Velvick for her photograph work as I use many of photographs for inspiration, she is a fantastic photographer... Thanks Ann
