About the artist
Texas-raised,
Oregon-based.
I grew up in Levelland, Texas studying history, art history, painting, drawing and design under John Hope, Drake Gómez, and watercolorist Lynette Watkins.
I graduated from Texas Tech in 2006 with a B.A. in Western History, learned oil painting from a set of paints given to me at seventeen (and a lot of Bob Ross), and I've been at it ever since.
