About ME
Art Background

At 12, I began taking oil painting lessons from Lydia Quick of the Windermere Art Gallery in Florida. At 16, I was the youngest artist hired to paint portraits at Walt Disney World for Rubio Artist Co and then Walt Disney World Corporation. Later, I painted portraits in pastel at Sea World.
