I enjoy painting almost any subject matter. My murals almost feel like my children, and it makes me sad to leave them when a project is over. I can work on your walls, floors, ceilings, or even a piece of furniture. Kids rooms are wonderful to create, but watching the clients and their children's reactions when I'm finished is the real pay off. I most enjoy creating theme rooms for children of all ages 1 - 100 years old. I often bring three-dimensional effects to my projects. I don't just want you to see the work but touch it too. Most of all I guess I want my work to touch you!
I have always wanted to be an artist. When other kids were telling their teachers they wanted to be a doctor, or a fireman, or even the President of the United States, I answered, " I want to be an Artist!" All throughout my school years I was known as the creative one. I always knew I would go to college and pursue an art degree. I attended Indiana State Unv. from 89-94. I originally majored in Graphic Design but switched my Major to Fine Art photography. In 94 I moved to Texas and the "Big City" I unfortunately was side tracked for a few years, you know, got married busy with life and all. I never stopped taking pictures or expressing myself in other ways creatively. I found that I really loved painting murals and experimenting with painting techniques in my own home. Soon my family and friends wanted to have me "Help" them with their homes. Everyone kept telling me that I needed to quit my job and paint for a living. Easy for them to say, they didn't have to pay my mortgage. I finally decided that I wanted to take the leap so I took a little time to save up some just in case money and started part time. Once I decided I could actually do what I love and feed my children I took the business full time.
