Visual Art – Sacramento

I am a figurative / portrait artist with an associates degree in Art History from Sierra College in Rocklin. I've been drawing ever since I knew how to hold a pencil., but I didn't really get into portraiture until I was about 13. Once at that point in my artistic endeavors, I never looked back. Portraiture and figure drawing have become my passions. I also have experimented with a variety of mediums, but I favor charcoal and oil painting first and foremost. My work is usually very emotional and color-sensitive, as well as light-focused. Working in oil paints and charcoal makes it easy for me to accomplish these characteristics.
