Visual Art – Baltimore

It all started in Brazil, back when I was in middle school and took art lessons. I remember spending late nights working on art projects that were supposed to be simple and quick, and begging my mother to buy me canvas, oil paint, and brushes. As a beginner, I copied everything. My first finished painting was Woodstock (Snoopy) walking on grass. Once in my 20's I took classes at the Smithsonian and the Art League School, which was very helpful and aided in my growth as an artist.
