RESUME

BIO: 

I am a contemporary artist living and working in Richmond, Virginia.  I work in all mediums but my primary focus is on acrylic paintings and pen and ink.  I left my teaching career and began the full time pursuit of my art in 2013.  With a distinct cubist influence, my work frequently features bright colors with strong line work.  My work is an attempt to display the thoughts that flash through my mind as I observe the world.  I have done many murals and public sculptures and my work can be found in public and private collections as well.
