My dream is to make a living as an artist. With the amazing support of my wife and four kids (along with two indifferent cats), I'm diving into the world of watercolors and oils, determined to learn the craft and business of art. But I need your help to make it happen. Your support will give me the time and resources to hone my skills, build connections, and ultimately share my art with the world. Please join me on this journey – let's create something awesome together!
What do I talk about?
My Art Odyssey: a behind-the-scenes look at my creative evolution
Art Musings: random thoughts, passionate opinions, and everything in between
Museum Mayhem: join me on my art adventures (and misadventures)
Artist Encounters: candid conversations with the people who make art happen
And More...? Who knows what we'll discover together!
