I have been drawing since I was old enough to hold a pencil (about two years old). At around the age of nine, I started to paint with oils. During high school, I began selling portraits. However, I don't have any formal education in art and I never attended college. 
   Painting is my favorite pastime and my way of making a living. Being an artist enables me to have a job doing what I love to do most of all. I consider myself very fortunate.
   I don't really have a specialty. I just love to paint. Painting murals on walls is wonderful because I love to create large paintings, especially domes. I can climb up, put music on and be in my own world.
