All I ever wanted to do was create. Growing up in a sports-oriented household presented as quite the challenge. Rarely was there paper in the house so I had to be resourceful in finding my own supplies. Into the woods I went to collect flowers to press and later glue to scraps of wood. I used my aunt’s old nail polishes to paint rocks in my backyard. Nothing was smooth or pretty, all my creations were rough and unusual. I feel this lack of art supplies had a huge hand in making me the artist I am today. I absolutely love mixed media and texture, spending much of my time experimenting with different mediums and surfaces. There is never a straightforward answer to the question “how did you make that?” I enjoy many styles of painting and use a variety of challenging, innovative mediums and materials to create my art.
