“To create one’s world in any of the arts takes courage.” -Georgia O’Keeffe- About Me. I’m an artist working in Dayton, Ohio. I grew up in Texas where I studied art at the University of Texas in Austin. Paintings. For my paintings, I primarily use oil as I really like the blending ability and translucent/organic quality of the medium. I love painting a variety of subjects and always look forward to a challenge. Travel Sketches. I love sketching on location. After I started attending Urban Sketchers Cincinnati meetups, travel sketching has become one of my favorite activities. Sketches are primarily in pen and watercolor, as well as pencil or gouache.
