I began my passion for art at a young age, around 11 years old. Some of my favorite artists that inspire me are Salvador Dali, Hans Bellmer, Henry Fuseli, Hieronymus Bosch, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Dorothea Tanning, Auguste Rodin, Gustav Klimt, M.C Escher and many more. I mostly enjoy surrealism, visionary and fantasy art.

Most of my work comes from a combination of dreams, my life, and my very vivid imagination. I have not attended any artistic schooling currently, I am mostly self taught. I am very inspired by and listen to music mostly progressive metal/rock. Some of the artist I like are Dream Theater, Symphony X, Andromeda, Rush, Yes, Led Zeppelin, Liquid Tension, Tool, Greg Rapaport, and many more.

After a short Hiatus of having my two wonderful children, I feel very inspired to pick up where I left my art. To pursue it and learn as much as I can. Right now I mostly work with pencil both graphite and color. I mostly use Derwent products. I have in the past worked with other mediums such as oil, watercolor,acrylic and pen.
I hope you enjoy checking out some of my art work on my site. I am still very much in the learning stages and I feel always will be. I like to think that its a great outlet for all of the crazy stuff that runs rampant in my mind.
