Originally born in Texas but now have lived in Yakima for the last 18 years.  I began oil painting 4 years ago after watching Bob Ross videos and since then have been self-taught until just recently. I am currently learning to master painting in layers and am learning under a master level artist at this time whose name is Layne Johnson. I love my family and they are my main support system when it comes to encouraging and making my art grow and cannot wait to display my progress in the meantime.
