I started painting about 6 years ago. Life had thrown me some challenges and I discovered a local art group for veterans and art therapy. Art therapy opened a door to explore my artistic side and try some new things. My journey since has been life changing and the art has gotten me through it all. I enjoy myself and hope to bring happiness and joy to others.
I mostly paint from reference photos. Either ones I have taken, or I have received permission to use for the purpose of painting. I haven't yet attempted plein air, or painting outside. But I will!
If you see something that speaks to you let me know and I will help you bring it home!
