I've been drawing and painting since an early age. I watched my mother paint with oils and loved to see all that she created. It wasn't until highschool that I would discover my own artistic talents and began drawing with pastels. My first award came at 17 in highschool for my very first pastel. I won 2nd place at the Indio Date Festival and 1,000 for my piece. My current passion is Watercolors. I sometimes eat sleep and drink color! I absolutely love to paint.
