About Me

I was raised in the American Southwest. I was always exploring the great outdoors. From family vacations to ancient Native American dwellings to my time gold prospecting.

I started doing art in high school. Doing projects like, drawing muscle cars on the back of army fatigues, designing a cobra to be painted on a ski boat or doing a company letterhead of one of my teachers. Doing projects like that is where I started but I became more serious in photography before my drawing. Later, I became serious with drawing and using the the rules of photography to better my drawing compositions.

After that, I got serious about my drawing, to the point of drawing, reading, and researching everything about art on a daily basis for about 8 years. Building a library and studying as much as possible.

I've won drawing contests in Professional Artist magazine and taught an art class for awhile.
