I love nature and animals, and my art reflects that. I like creating in all sorts of ways without staying bound to a single medium. I like to blend highly realistic elements with surreal or dreamlike environments or creatures. I specialize in acrylic painting but also love drawing (graphite and colored pencil), photography, and sculpture. I have been drawing since I was a small child, and I was entire self taught up until high school. I attended Purdue University and studied Studio Arts and Technology with a Fine Arts concentration.
