I have always loved to draw picture, it's when I was in the first grade I drew a picture of a pilgrim girl right before our Thanksgiving break that I became fascinated with drawing and people that drew. My step mother went head over heels crazy, smiling and doing some kind of skippy dance holding my pilgrim girl pic, she ran next door to show it to my aunt, my head swelled twice it's size it's then I felt the need to make more. I loved the praise she gave me and when she hung it on the wall above the table where we all ate I felt famous . As the years went on I always had a drawing pad weather it be just a plain old college ruled notebook to a bunch of blank back sided homeworker papers, I always found a way to draw and doodle. I didn't always share my art but my bedroom wall was covered in my favorite drawings even some friends gave me their art to put on my wall. I have come a long way and my portraits of people are looking better and better with each one I do, I find it with each one I draw I learn something new. I love to make people laugh but even more to make them smile and to have something that took more then just setting the lights and snapping a shot. Sure there is art in photography I love that as well, but nothing says I love you or appreciate you more then a piece of art with your face on it. and to me it's not what I can make for money or what I can get for praise it's the feeling I get when I am finally done with a picture and am satisfied with it and that I created it all on my own.I am not a pro, I believe we as artists only get better and better.
