synopsis . I am a self taught artist. Ever since I was a child I have loved to draw. At the same time it drove me nuts because I was such a perfectionist. I would get so angry because of the smallest little screw up that I would wrinkle up the page and throw it away. I'm probably responsible for a small forest being cut down to be made into paper. In my teen age years I took up music. Modern and alternative, anything different really. I learned guitar and played with a band, many of them. Over the next few years I focused primarily on music until I was about 19. That year I painted my first painting. Since then I have been hooked. It seems painting and drawing has become my only forms of expression nowadays. Art in some way will always be a part of me… even if it's only staring at it on the wall.
