About the Artist:
I have been drawing ever since I can remember but I stopped when I enlisted in the Air Force. After my enlistment, my family encouraged me to start drawing again as a form of therapy. Since picking up a pencil again in 2010, I eventually started painting in watercolor, acrylic, and oils. Lately I’ve been creating more acrylics paintings and charcoal drawings and I’ve even sold some work. I’m currently a student at the University of South Carolina in the School of Visual Arts and Design with a concentration in painting. After graduation, I’m hoping to work as a conservator while selling my own work.
