Biography

My hobby became painting. During a low period of my life, I found myself homeless and was forced to live in my car. I went by an art store and bought a small set of oil pastel sticks and a postcard size book of blank paper. I began to paint my miniatures for there wasn't anything else to do living in my car!
I then established myself in a small art gallery in CA and then a Fine Arts Gallery (D. Gallery) in Lake Arrowhead, CA.
The majority of my works are miniatures.  They are done mainly with oil pastel sticks.  I like to work with color and portraits.

I hope you enjoy my works.
