original and commissioned art


 
 
    I was born in Chicago, IL and grew up in Las Vegas, NV where I currently reside.  I attended University Nevada at Las Vegas and earned a Bachelor of Arts in studio art.  My areas of concentration are acrylic paint and mixed media sculpture.  In 2000 I was presented with a chance to fulfill a childhood dream of playing womens pro football with the WPFL.  I made the decision to put my art career on hold to spend the next six years traveling the country playing football as a quarterback.  In 2007, I hung up my cleats, so I could return to my first love:  art !!!

 Statement

    Art has always played a huge part in my everyday life.  My creative drive bares no limit to time and my mind spins with all the possibilities of expression.  When creating artwork, I focus on color, light and the way they interact with one another to achieve a desired effect on canvas.
