About Me

Born and raised in Austin, Texas and i'm extremely proud of it. I live in South Austin, with my wonderful wife/high school sweetheart/muse Stacy. we have been together for a total of thirteen years now, married for three. I could not image a life without her. i have been an artist all my life, or at least as long as I can remember. i've been known to shock people with my skills. printmaking is a favorite of mine and painting is something i'll do for the rest of my life. no doubt. i'm almost unapproachable, but when it comes to art i wanna here what you have to say, good or bad. i can use a critique, always. so, don't be shy.-
