Biography
I am a 42-year-old artist and I had my first lesson at the age of 7 years old. I have been doing some form of art ever since then. I am fortunate to be blessed with the gift of art. I began working as a professional artist about 7 years ago. I studied under a very talented nun at Mount Carmel Academy who greatly inspired me. Later in life, I briefly attended the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts. For the most part, I am self-taught, and my medium of choice is oils. Even though I had talent, I did not mature as an artist until I had experienced many challenges and painful losses in life. I believe that all artists are influenced my their lifes experiences. The outcome of my challenging life is that I finally had developed a district style of my own and the confidence to show my work at local exhibits, shows, and festivals.

Style Romanticism

An art style which emphasizes the personal, emotional and dramatic through the use of exotic, literary or historical subject matter. A European movement of the late eighteenth to mid nineteenth century. In reaction to neoclassicism, it focused on emotion over reason, and on spontaneous expression. The subject matter was invested with drama and usually painted energetically in brilliant colors. Delacroix, Gericault, Turner, and Blake were Romantic artists.
