Visual Art – Pittsburgh

Born and raised on a horse ranch in upstate NY, I was drawing as long as I could remember. When I was 4-years-old my father attempting to teach me my numbers, I would refuse to write or acknowledge the number 3 (most likely that was the number that meant I was in trouble). My father simply tricked me by telling me to draw a bird and then turned it sideways. When I was in 3rd grade I drew my teacher and her TA as monsters, They discovered the sketches and the next day pulled me aside. I thought I was in trouble for sure, but they were impressed with my skill and introduced me to the art instructor and got me into an advanced art class. Spawning my thirst for becoming a great artist.
