I have been drawing since I could pick up a Pencil. Was one of those children that drew her answers at school, instead of writing them. In High school I came under the tutelage of Ms Fashion, who was a master Artist in her own right. She was my mentor for over two years in all things to do with art. As a Teen, my paintings were entered in a number of Art Shows frequently winning top honors. Continued to focus on my Art education primarily on the old Masters' style of painting and when possible at Fine Art museums. I pride myself in staying versatile by using ,water based oils, Pen & Ink with watercolor pencil wash, traditional water color, graphite and other media. Have also, always been interested in Photography. Had 3 years of photography classes which included developing film. I now use an Canon 70d digital camera.
