Born on May 3rd,
1986, I lived my youth in the small town of Ellis Grove, Illinois.
I spent my High School years attending Gibault Catholic High
School, where my artistic potential really began to flourish.
Currently residing in Red Bud, Illinois at the age of eighteen, I am
attending Southwestern Illinois College to earn an Associate’s Degree
in Fine Arts. I have sold pieces to close friends of the family ,
and am hoping to further my horizons. My talents are centered in
majority graphite, minority marker, and colored pencils, and
acrylic paint. My range in those fields is very open. From
exquisite portraits, to black and white design, I am able to
create work that is both pleasing and successful. Since I am still
young, I have the leisure to broaden my sense of style, expand the
use of my knowledge, and use what I have to the best of my
ability.
“Besides writing in my journal and telling
funny jokes, I get my emotions out by producing art. I practically
am my art.”

my life.
