From California with most of the time in Carmel. My parents are both creative, so between home and Carmel I had a great environment to grow up in. Drawing was always happening. Then I taught myself how to use an old camera and I was sold. With education, my emphasis was on photography, while still studying applied art and design. After college I relied on the restaurant business to pay the bills and let me start experimenting more with my artwork. As I practiced my techniques and learned from what I was doing, I built up enough work and confidence to find my way into the gallery business. I’m now finding myself at my most prolific and focused, and enjoying the process so much.
