My inspirations
My art is a reflection of people and places that catch my eye…the interesting composition of a scene, the play of light and shadows, intriguing figures, or the emotion evoked. Most often, the basis for my paintings is a photograph as photography allows me to record what captures my attention. When I take a photograph, I am thinking of the painting it may become.

Painting is my channel to romanticize the reality of the photograph, transferring to canvas what I felt and thought about that moment captured in time. The painting transcends the photo to become my interpretation of the moment… my representational documentation of it.

Whether through writing, music, or painting, artists are interpreting and sharing their inspiration. My inspiration comes from life, and I share through my art what I cannot express through words or music.
About Me:
I am a self-taught painter and have painted since childhood. I am a 23 year resident of San Antonio. My work has been shown in San Antonio and Austin venues including First Friday in Southtown, One9Zero6 Gallery, Zara Gallery, Courthouse Art Program, San Antonio Art League Art in the Park, Art in the Hood, Blue Star on Fredericksburg Rd., Espuma, The Blue Bean Coffee House, Hill of Beans Coffee House, La Vigna Wine Shop, Wild about Music, Wine Styles, Bismarck Studios, The San Antonio Art League Museum juried shows in 2007 and 2008, and Inspire Fine Arts Center juried show “Inspires on Fire” in 2009.

My painting has been featured in a recently published book "The Spirituality of Music" (Northstone Publishing), and will be the cover art for a soon to be published title from Ohio State University Press.
