Hello Houston.

I was born and raised in Houston.  I attended the University of Houston and graduated with a BBA majoring in CIS.  I have always been interested in art but didnt know that I could even draw until the 8th grade...which was 1991.  I would always get my dad to draw artwork for my school projects and I guess he got tired of drawing for me because he kinda told me to draw them myself. LOL...I cried but he told me what to do and lets just say I found out that I had artistic talent and never stopped drawing. 

I got in to painting around 1995. I dont really know how I know how to do it...I just do it.  The finished products are a bit surprising to me sometimes. All I can say is that my artistic talent  was a gift given to me by the grace of GOD. 

As far as the subjects I paint, I love music so I generally paint musical entertainers and lately have gotten into portraits. My goal as an artist is to think larger and work on more original peices. 

Oh..yeah...all of my paintings are in acrylic.  I haven't quit learned to paint with oils, but Im working on it.
