I have been drawing since I was a kid, I just never gave up coloring books. I started painting in college when I got my minor in Art. My artwork was always my passion but I didn't think I could make a living off of it so I got my degree and began work in a related creative field (interior architecture) and was working in that field when in 2010 I met the organizers of a new monthly outdoor market in my area. They invited me to be a vendor at their first market in October of that year. The market was brand new and I was brand new to selling my work, so it was a good fit for me getting started in turning my hobby into a working dream. I have been selling my art at local outdoor arts markets and online ever since.
