About Me

---

The artwork above is an oil pastel done by my grandfather. Some of my earliest memories are of he and I sitting at the table as he taught me some of the basic fundamentals of art. I have no formal schooling in art but through a ”Talented and Gifted” program during my early school years I was given the unique opportunity to learn from multiple artists specializing in many different mediums.

I am captivated by the beauty and uniqueness of wood and it is my preferred canvas. Pyrography is a Greek term meaning “writing with fire”. It is an art form that dates back to the 17th century. Pyrography is my primary technique but my love of art prevents me from being restricted to just one medium. 

Nature is my greatest inspiration. The texture and grain of wood, the vibrant color pallet of flowers and sunsets, and the majesty of wildlife give boundless artistic inspiration.
