History
1995 California Institute of Arts 1998 Crocker Art Museum 15+ years of custom art While I was attending high school at Nevada Union the year of 1995, I was accepted to attend the California Institute of the Arts summer program focusing in animation. This was a huge honor as the school could only choose 50 students for this course from applicants nationwide. I received recognition by the mayor and council of the city of Grass Valley. Sometime later while still in high school one of my paintings was chosen to be displayed at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento CA. At the age of 18, a family friend asked if I would paint a garden scene in their home. Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new career that I never imagined possible. My heart was set on the animation field, yet requests for my hand painted murals and canvas art proved to be an exciting journey that has kept me busy over the last 15 years.
