About

I am a young artist who specializes in oil painting. I have been painting for the past +10 years and am currently based in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
 

It all began when I was around 12 years old, I started taking art classes and I took them for about 7 years. These art classes were not the typical structured classes where the teacher told you to do this or do that. It was a much kinder, open approach. You had the upper hand at what you wanted to do. I thrived in that environment. My teacher was a great person and very patient.
 

I started out doing drawings of my favorite racehorses like Seabiscuit and Secretariat while also dabbling in pottery making here and there as well but slowly I shifted from all that to oil painting. To be honest, at first, I wasn't sure if I really liked it but I stuck with it just because with every piece I saw improvement with my techniques. Then at some point I just didn't stop and kept growing as an oil painter and grew to love it so much.
 

Oil painting has become my escape from this harsh world. I immerse myself into every painting I do and put my heart and soul into every brushstroke. This is why I have decided to start selling my art. To share a part of myself with the world so they too can have an escape and be transported into another place and time when they look at my paintings.
