I was raised in Missoula, Montana I have been selling my art in public and private showings for 20 years now. I have no idea how many pieces of art I have sold or made it occurred to me earlier today. I have been selling only original art (no prints) internationally since I was ten years old including poetry. I use any materials or method I am exposed to/ I can get my hands on to make it I am consistently in process or studying to make something. I have made many outdoor installations and stage backdrop murals, mural interior and exterior large sculptures clothes painting mixed media and other wise and now I have been doing a lot of live performances not only painting live as I have been for years but I have lots of paintings in my gallery! Sometimes people buy things before I document them. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis over 2 years ago and I have had to basically reteach myself how to paint so I have been experimenting in fashion design and digital media as my body heals. I am influenced by the great portrait, surreal, and wild artists of any time or place I am as much a fan and collector of art as I make it. Every time I curate a gallery show I always take something home with me. I like doing art trades as well art for artists.
