Visual Art – Columbus

As a kid I’d hide away in my room and draw, leaving only to sharpen my #2 pencils with the electric sharpener downstairs. I’d write stories and illustrate the characters on every page. Today, one of my favorite pastimes is lounging in the living room with a glass of wine (or whiskey) and my artwork, and although I like to write, I try to tell a story via the scenes I draw. I get lost in my work for hours. I’ve projected my passion for art via a fashion degree, post grad studio art classes, and now a career in hairstyling. Art is in everything I do—whether baking, decorating, or styling hair.
