I've been a working artist now for over 15 years. I started out in Dallas, Texas doing portrait sketches in The West End Marketplace. Then I moved to the East coast and stayed in St. Augustine, Florida and became a street artist there. I now live in Georgia...near Savannah. I still do portraits at art festivals but I'd rather be painting my visionary-figuritive oil & wax! You can read more about my approach to painting in my blog....
