MEDIUMS: Acrylic Paint | Mixed Media Art | Graphite Art | Pastel Art
SPECIALTY: ✔ Technical Skills
I have been drawing and painting now for many years.
This is my passion and love that I have a desire to constantly try to reach the next level.
Time and experience has helped me secure my future destiny of being a master painter.
I will never give up this love of art, always being open to new ideas and challenges.
Plien Air is one of these challenges, painting cherry blossoms in the spring can be a visual inspiration for many artists including myself.
I will strive to be a master artist, sharing what I know along the journey constantly pushing myself to learn, whether being an Instructor or a student.
“It is better to paint for one minute a day than to think about it for 24 hours a day; one learns more in that one minute of painting than in thinking about it for 24 hours.”
