I've recently started a new apparel and accessory line, with this positive message. Scroll down to find the collection.

I believe that art is something in life that can always be appreciated, regardless of circumstances. It can be a way of expressing your beliefs, your emotions, or just a cool design you enjoy. My first art love was drawing as a kid. I was often drawing people and attempting to draw celebrities (including the raptors from Jurassic Park). College is where I began painting and found appreciation for the human form. I started designing graphics and 3D renderings in 2010. You can check out some of that work in my portfolio. Over the years I continued trying out different forms of art and discovered pyrography; the art or technique of burning a design onto the surface of wood or leather, with a heated metallic point. This has become another passion of mine. My art is an ongoing process of learning and testing out different techniques. Outside of art I have a love for hiking, chocolate, Halloween, mountains, and as the photo suggests- cats (standby for some cat designs).
