Visual Art – Phoenix

From a very young age Art was always my passion. I swear when i say it\'s in my blood. I loved growing up in New York, living only 30 minutes from the City. As a child i remember the first time i went on a field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art i never wanted to leave. I went home that day and begged my mom to take my to the \"The MOMA\". As i got older my passion for art continued, friends and i would always take the train into the city and just walk around looking and taking pictures of all the art and graffiti. When it came time for College I knew Graphic Design was what i was going to do. I went on to get my Bachelors Degree. Shortly after I graduated I moved to Arizona where I currently reside. Art is my passion, my hobby. I paint/draw whenever get the chance.

All of my work is Mixed Media. I love having no boundaries when it comes to art. The style i have chosen is Pointillism so mostly everything I do I made up of tiny little dots. Everything here took me 70+ hours to do. Most of the art I do incorporates thousands of little jewels as well.
