I have always been drawn to the quiet and methodical world of visual art. While I have no formal art education, I have drawn and painted continuously from young adulthood, with varying degrees of speed and focus depending on life circumstances. Over the years I have produced many paintings, ranging from surreal landscapes to dog portraits to depictions of my favorite buildings in downtown Lafayette. I am currently attempting to become better acquainted with the artist community here in Lafayette, to learn more about the business and promotion side of creativity. With this knowledge I hope to move more of my paintings out of my own home and into the world.
