How long have I been painting?
I’ve always been drawing. I got into watercolor in 2023, and I’ve been a full-time artist since May 2024. My last job was selling cooking appliances.

​

How did I learn to paint?
I’m self taught- just a lot of practice! I took a couple art classes in high school, but that’s about it. I studied environmental science in college, and I focus on nature in my artwork. Many of my landscapes are painted from observation on-site. I enjoy working from my own vacation photos too. 
 

Hometown: Austin, Texas

Here's a photo of me painting at the 2024 Buda Arts Fest.

Can I do custom paintings? 
Yes! I have done custom paintings in watercolor, acrylic and on fabric. I also do oversized prints in custom dimensions. Please email me with your ideas:
