Summerville, SC
I started drawing and painting as a teenager and I have always liked creating things with my hands. I took art classes in high school and I attended the Art Institute of Atlanta studying Visual Communications, but I did not complete the course, dropping out after a year-and-a half. I worked as a hair stylist for several years and got married and had a child and so my art got put on the back burner. I became a Christian when I turned 40, giving myself over to the very capable hands of God and it has been an adventure of a lifetime ever since. The drive to create beautiful things is only one of many gifts which I have received and I have been trying my best to hone and to invest the talents which I have been blessed to receive. I have in my head a whole series of paintings, which when I have become proficient enough to paint well I will begin, centered around the maternal line of the Messiah and my interpretation of who they were.
