Having never taken any training in art I guess I could claim that I'm a self-taught artist. I have been drawing since I could hold a crayon and draw beautiful stick figures all over my mother's walls. I've worked in just about every media there is, my first love was pencil, after I started painting in 1990 it was very hard for me to go back. Since then I've done web design, art and logos..and a myspace profile or two (mine).
For over 15 years I played the viola (my speciality), violin, cello, piano and a bit of guitar. Music is a big part of my life. I'm always listening to music when I'm painting or writing.
Animals also play a big role in my life. I have two ball pythons, a poodle, and a horse. I've bred and raised many types of birds and parrots, as well as worked with a few abused and traumatized parrots. I've also rescued and rehabilitated wild birds and animals,trained dogs(mostly their owners), horses and used to do hunter/jumper on the side.
You've got it all. Power, passion, precision, and style. You're sensuous, exotic, and temperamental. Sure, you're expensive and high-maintenance, but you're worth it.
