My
Biography
A BFA in fine arts & art history, I was born to be an artist or maybe just be weird. I've been painting since I was 3 years old, painting with my mom on old pieces of drift wood we found on the beach. With a few things under my belt, I still consider myself a starving artist. I created and designed a privately owned tanning salon in Galveston, I've been an advertising and marketing designer for several local establishments, and my swing dance team and I were selected to perform in Australia for the closing ceremony of the 2000 Olympics (not really art related but I think it's cool!). Now, my focuses are environmental and animal related. Volunteering at the local animal shelter, I saw the worst of the worst that humans have done to animals. I've been supporting animal rights for 2 decades, and in that time I also became a vegetarian, after seeing a Humane Society film on Animal Testing and the conditions in the US slaughter houses. I realized right then and there that My Job is to be the voice for the furry (and not so furry)... so that's what I do. 20% of all animal related art sales are donated to the Humane Society and PETA. |
