I am an emerging Austin Artist. I am coming out of the closet about having been an artist for my entire life. I LOVE TO CREATE. I love fine details. I have traveled extensively and seen many wonderful places and items of art. I have lived with my family in Springfield, Mo., Tampa, Fl., Greenville, S. C., and for the last 20 years, in Austin, Texas. I knew from a very young age of 9, that I wanted to be an artist. I had an easel in the basement where I would go to paint, draw, and watch my father gunsmith. My parents were into antiques.
