Born in Arizona in 1973, I have lived in England, UK since 2002.  I found some craft paints in a drawer in the first house I rented here.  Suffering from cultural shock, depression from missing my family, I took up painting cardboard to keep from loosing my mind.   Having failed art in jr high, I decided to educate myself by studying the most famous artists in history and trying to copy them.   I became semi proficient in drawing but my true passion for abstract and colour strokes began to emerge within.  I have taken commissions and sold my pieces to collectors in America, Spain, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Ireland and here in all 4 of the constituent nations of the UK.  I have held solo exhibits and taken part in open exhibitions.
