Art is in my blood, it is a major piece of my soul. Creating art has lifted and carried me through many dark times in my life, and my pieces tend to be reflections of my thoughts or feelings. I have been creating art since I could pick up a pencil, and I've never stopped. I am mostly self-taught, with no formal college education, although in my school career I was always in advanced art classes. Drawing, painting, jewelry-making, sewing, crochet, sculpting, music playing and writing, writing and illustrating stories.. If it is considered a form of art, you can be sure I've tried it! If you like what you see here, follow me on my streaming channel to watch live paintings and drawings! My channel is set up to be an instructional type, meaning the streams are paint/draw-alongs. I cover the materials used, explain the science behind composing a picture, how to get your ideas out of your head an onto the paper/canvas, using vanishing points, perspectives, and proportions, anything you'll need to know to create beautiful art of your own! So come create with me!
