I'm an American living in England, I got my dual citizenship in 2015. In my early life, I was recognised as an artist at a very young age. I was always drawing and ‘into art’. I was frequently in trouble with my teachers for “daydreaming” in class (about art) but they also encouraged me by getting me involved with school projects, like painting murals. It’s not surprising that art was my favourite class throughout my school years. I come from a long line of artists and musicians so this was encouraged by my family.. Very early on I started painting in oils since this was my mother’s medium of choice as a painter. Over the years I developed my own style of painting, although it changes depending on the medium I'm using. I work from both life and photos.
