Visual Art – San Antonio

I am originally from Newburgh, NY. I earned a Bachelors degree in Nursing and work as an Emergency Room Nurse. I began taking an Acrylic art class in March of 2011, but am mostly a self-taught artist. I have been drawing and painting since childhood. I am most comfortable with acrylics, but recently began painting with water mixable oil. I also love pastels and charcoal. Most of my work so far has been commissioned paintings done from photographs, but I have done several original paintings as well.
