I graduated Magna Cum Laude, with honors, from Saginaw Valley State University. My major was art, and minor creative writing. I have been painting and drawing all of my life. I work in charcoal, acrylic, and oil pastels. I have also done a little experimenting with colored pencils and photography, and some sculpting. Most of what I do is from my own subconscious, but I occasionally dig through photos i have taken and use those for inspiration.
