As a child, my father was a painter and would let me paint murals on the walls in the garage. My mother, a professional singer, had a huge impact on me. To this day, I incorporate music into my artwork as a way of paying homage to the inspiration she gave me. I was able to work with many artists throughout my life, starting at age 14 working for painters, ceramicists, and more. In college I studied photography, sculpture and architecture. Since then I have been working in mixed media using skills from the many different mediums I’ve studied in unison.
