I am a Portrait Artist and Web site Developer from Louisville, KY. I have been drawing since I was about 6 years old. As a child, I would pretty much draw anything I could get my hands on, such as Sunday Comics, pictures of family and pictures from magazines. In elementary and Middle school, I won several poster contests. Over the years, the more I drew, I have tried to make the next drawing better than the last. I think of myself as a self taught artist,but I realized there was a lot more I could learn so I signed up for art class in High School and Majored in Art in College.

My medium of choice is charcoal and graphite pencil. I like to think of myself as a Portrait Artist, because most of my drawings are Portraits of celebrities and family. I also draw cartoon characters when I'm in a funny mood.. I like to draw cartoon characters for my daughter to hang up on her wall. My daughter's teacher asked me to draw a poster of Brainy Smurf so she could hang it on the classroom door. My drawings are typically 11x14, but I have done a few that were 14 x 22.

I love to draw, but I also design and develop web sites. I have been developing web sites for about 7 years and I have a Degree in Web Site Design and Development. I enjoy designing web sites, starting with a blank screen and ending up with a Masterpiece. The web sites I design are all different and they reflect the person in which it was designed. I can make a simple web site with a few pages or a more complex web site with several pages and Flash, audio and video elements.
