Visual Art – Salt Lake City

I’ve been a fan of art since I was a kid growing up in South Texas. I began tracing my favorite superhero’s out of comic books at an early age which turned an enjoyment of art into a love for it. IT helped that I was a daredevil and always had an injury or broken Lind to keep me indoors to harness my talent. Haha. After tracing and doodling for so long I realized I could come up with characters of my own, and as I did I felt my creative mind open up to things I hadn’t thought of or seen before. The world seemed to open up, and the rest was history.... Since then I have gone from my love of illustration to painting, sewing, woodwork, sculpting, graphic design, and really anything I can do to express myself. I’m a man who is big on Love and I try to show it through my art. Not all of it, but most of my pieces. Having survived thyroid cancer I have a love and appreciation for life and all that’s in it. My goal is to bring some more joy and beauty into the world, and I hope to do that with the few talents I have been given.
