Biography
From an early age I have always loved art. Some of my earliest memories are sitting in front of a coloring book working intensely at making the page look perfect and doing my best to bring the content to life. My love for art carried into middle school where I was fortunate enough to work with Virgil Villers my middle school art teacher. Myself and a couple of other students were able to spend a week working with him at his studio in between 7th and 8th grade. Watching him work was very inspirational. In high school my passion for art and design really took off. I had Mr. C for art through my high school years and he was always very encouraging. It was about this time that I began to realize that I had some talent and wanted to pursue art throughout my life. Once done with high school, I studied art and graphic design at the University of Akron. Here is where I began to truly learn how to craft artwork. I had several inspirational teachers whom taught me that if I wanted to be an artist and designer that I needed to submerse myself in it. I needed to learn all that I could. As I have done that I have learned how to use the media and medium to my advantage. I have learned how to express my thoughts and feelings through line, shape and color.
Since I have left school, I have created hundreds of pieces of various mediums on various media. Some of those pieces are here at the site but many are out in the world hopefully being enjoyed by the masses.
