I was born in Charleston and raised 20 miles north of Charleston in Awendaw. My personal interests include swimming, drawing, piano, math, and science. I have been creating and selling oil and acrylic portraits since the age of fifteen. It is the only job I have ever known. My first year of college was devoted to the study of piano. But, I missed having time for drawing, math, and science. I enrolled in the College of Charleston where I studied all three. It was at the College of Charleston where I discovered my love for ink and brush. I paint portraits of animals and people in which I strive to capture the soul in as pure and simple a style as possible. I prefer to paint in ink or acrylic. I live in downtown Charleston where I feel privileged to practice my art. I invite you to visit my website and blog where I record my artistic journey.
