About

I am a professional artist and photographer from Raleigh, North Carolina. I learned to draw and paint during my childhood. As an adult, I have been painting for last few years. I paint in Oils and Watercolors. I paint live at Weddings and Events! I accept studio commissions for portraits and paintings.

I like the freedom of painting variety of subjects using different techniques. If the subject is interesting enough, I may paint the same subject in different ways. Mostly, I work on a single painting at a time. While I enjoy direct painting, if my love for the subject gets deep enough, I paint using indirect painting techniques. Doing sketches from life and working on my own compositions is my preferred way of working, so I do not always depend on the photographs. My goal as an artist is to master the craft of painting so that my paintings can convey their message without techniques getting in the way.
