Painting defines me. Ever since I was a child my goal was to be an artist. It makes me happy to create something beautiful.  I started out drawing when I was three. By the age of 16 I was experimenting with different mediums which included oils and eventually acrylics which is what I still use today. My art has changed through the years from fantasy, butterflies, frogs, and at present I am in my landscape phase, but still on occasion I paint fantasy art.
