Loving the world of art all my life, but having no real education or degree in the field, I read books on my own and studied some of "the master's" work beginning in late 1995. Toward the end of 1999, I'd worked for a free-lance artist doing faux finishes, murals, and other decorative art jobs, and also for a design company painting custom-painted-furniture, so I decided to start my own faux finish, mural & children's room character company. In my spare time, I continue to paint on canvas and have found that that's what I enjoy doing best. Being that I enjoy all art forms, I consider myself very versital, so I haven't truely found a form that I consider would be my own "nitch", but I've grown more fond of the bright colors of Contemporary Art here in the last few years.
