I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. It was around 6th grade that I became serious with my writing and my artwork and realized these were the two areas I wished to focus on. In 6th grade I began to write my first novel, something that has haunted me for a very long time. I also began to focus on drawing portraits at this time and sold my first commissioned portrait at the age of 16. I have been completing commissions since that day.

My formal training began in high school when my art teacher, Mr. Garnhart, selected a few of his students to attend his figure drawing classes at the local college. I was one of the fortunate. After graduation, I attended Edinboro University where I obtained a Bachelor's of Fine Arts degree in painting with a minor in Art History.

I have posted my email address for anyone interested in obtaining information on prices for commissioned work.

Please keep in mind these prices are for rendering accurate portraits of the subjects and are not for all painting or drawing commissions. If you wish to commission me on an original work of my creation or desire a celebrity portrait, the costs will be different (and are usually less) depending on the project. If you are on a tight budget and have an idea in mind, let me know what you have in mind, how much you have to spend and we can try to work something out to fit within that budget. I am pretty reasonable and will be honest with you if I feel I cannot complete what you have in mind for your price, time limit or project in general. It never hurts to ask...
