Education
My Bachelor degree is from University of Texas at Dallas in Arts and Performance; Visual Arts with an emphasis in Drawing and Painting. I have been creating art since I was a young child and have worked as a graphic designer for over 20 years. My secret to design is to focus on the client when I create. My secret to not being artistically frustrated by that is to always have my own personal creative outlet. I paint and draw and collage. I am in the process of transitioning from the corporate world to being a full-time working artist. My passion is to create what I call “Faith Art”. At UTD I learned to take a concept and find a way to express it visually. I do that with my faith. Then, I love to teach.
