Pet Collage & Watercolor (Ages 7-10)

 As a young artist I started with putting on outdoor shows. It was at one of the local outdoor shows that other artists asked me to join Lost Pines Art Center. I have had the great pleasure to teach children art classes, put on demos and showcase my art work for over fifteen years. I had the great honor to call Bastrop my home town.

 As an artist I have worked in a variety of different media. However, acrylic texture paint is my favorite media. Working in this unique media is amazing!  The sculpture is created from a molding from objects like sauces with using a palette knife. Once the layer is dry than I paint on top of the acrylic sculpture with brush work. I always tell people that it is painting paint. The media is achieved by applying layers and layers of paint on top of each other.

I study at Austin Community College and Texas State University. Eat em’ up cats! I am working on my Bachelors in art with a sub specialty in painting, than I plan to get my teaching certification attached. I have worked in educating for over five years. I have a passion to be on both side of the classroom as a teacher and student. My favorite quote is “teach and be tough.”
