I was born in New Iberia, and grew up in Ruston and Goldonna, Louisiana. Growing up in the countryside of central Louisiana and the northern small, university town of Ruston, La. I learned about nature, music, and books. Throughout my childhood, I was fascinated with wildlife, gardens, poetry, philosophy, and epistemology (the study of the nature, origin, and scope of knowledge). In my art life I want to inspire through art and music and show both the geometries of the natural world as well as the abstract shapes, colors, and forms derived from emotion.
I am a pastel artist, an acrylic painter, and a digital artist. I studied color theory at Laney College, Oakland, Ca. in 1999, architecture and drawing at the San Francisco Institute of Architecture from 1995-1999, and began drawing in charcoal and creating pastels in 1999. I also learned architectural photography in Paris, France in 1996.
Most of my works are of impressionist and abstract landscapes, digital paintings and pastel abstracts. I have experimented with lots of mediums and styles, including experimenting with collage and oil painting. Although I have created hundreds of digital pieces, from my experiences I have discovered I enjoy doing pastels the most!
