The ability to turn a blank canvas into something beautiful with the stroke of my airbrush helps me bring life to the subject I’m painting.

I enjoy creating portraits in color and monochromatic. Black and white has a special place in my heart, because of the ability to create depth with 2 colors on a black canvas is both challenging and rewarding as well.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration is drawn by the unique structure, detail and textures in an individuals face that draws attention, which inspires me to really challenge my abilities, as well as enhance them.
What would you do with $25,000?I would the money to create a better structured class for my students whom I enjoy teaching. Being able to provide them with the proper equipment, so they can learn and work efficiently. There’s nothing better than a new student holding a new brush they probably weren’t able to purchase themselves, and that to me is gratifying.
