ABOUT

Like most artists I’ve been making art as long as I can remember.  I’ve been very lucky to have art teachers who have played major roles in nurturing my creative side, and for friends and family who also love to make art.  Without such amazing influences I wouldn’t be the artist that I am.

Born in 1976, Coshocton, Ohio, USA.
