| Since the age of 8, I have always had a deep love for painting. I started out in pencil and entered my work in the county fair every year in my home town of Pocatello, Idaho. I received blue ribbons on all of my work, which inspired me to pursue my artistic ability. I took art classes all through grade and high school, and continued my art education by attending art seminars and taking classes at art schools in the evenings. For the past nine years I have been studying art through private lessons. I also have shown at the New York Art Expo 2007, 2008 and Las Vegas Art Exhibit 2007. | |||
