I am currently the Graphic Designer for a small marketing company called Merge2Media. I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil with a huge interest in cartoons & animation for as long as I can remember. I have a BA in Graphic Art & spent 3 years working in a copy shop. My painting skills are weak compared to my drawing skills but I enjoy oil, acrylic & watercolor almost as much as ink, pencil & charcoal drawing.

I love street art & once studied graff styles, throw ups, pieces & murals as well as stencil art.

In May 2011 I was elected as a member of a local art gallery called The Raw Canvas. "The Raw Canvas Working Artist Gallery is an artist co-op style art gallery. This small, yet unique gallery is a hidden gem among the other local galleries in Grand Junction. The Raw Canvas Working Artist Gallery encourages the diversity of local artists and art lovers who are willing to take risks and go beyond the norm of traditional art."

I aspire to be a comic strip artist and children's book illustrator.
