About Me

I'm an artist looking to connect with other artists and make new friends. I have drawn most of my life but no one seemed to notice until I started to paint in 1995 while recovering from a back injury. My work can be found in private collections around the world.I lost my grandmother to Breast Cancer, my mother to Myeloma and my sister has autism, so I am always looking for ways to advocate for these causes. ________________________________________________________

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other artists, creative people, people whose lives have been touched by breast cancer, myeloma, or autism, people that perform random acts of kindness and donate to charity, people who follow their dreams, people that know ignorance is not bliss, people that don't hate other people based on generalizations, people who read to their children, people that strive to make the world a better place, people that know the difference between supporting the troops and supporting the war, anyone who can see beyond themselves
