I am a descendant of the Old Three Hundred, the first settlers
brought to Texas by Stephen F. Austin. I come from an artistic background, my parents having studied Architecture
and Fine Art. I received degrees in Art and Art History from the University of Texas at Austin. I am certified
to teach art in the State of Texas.
As a freelance artist I paint portraits, still lives and landscapes in a vareity
of media. I work with interior designers painting murals and faux finishes. Clay
is a relatively new media for me however my sculpting work has been well received and I was granted the auspicious honor
of restoring two historic landmarks in Dallas, Texas.
My artistic skills, love of history and perseverance have brought me some fantastic
opportunities and a chance to pay homage to all that came before me. It has been said of my work that
"it's been done." I am proud of this and honored to be the one chosen to replicate the past and what I see around me.
