My art bio would be that I first got into art when I was in 5th grade drawing comic books. I always loved the human body. From there I started playing D&D and that lead to me learning how to oil paint. As puberty hit my love for the female body dominated what I would draw and paint. I dabbled with sculpture but I never really had enough time to develop it. After I got to the point where I could draw "realistic"I soon got bored with it. My grandma gave me a Renoir book and slowly I warmed up to modern art. I found the more I learned about why modern artists did what they did the more I grew respect for them. Art was my religion until I converted to be a Mormon. For about 3-4 yrs of without producing any real art I got back into it. I then went thru a real rough time due to a divorce, separation from my daughter and loosing my faith in God. I never had depression issue before this but now I do. I coped with my depression by taking Adderall and writing music on a computer. I got real good at it real quick. After about 3 yrs of this I got back into drawing. By this time I had developed my own voice and the process of making art was way different. I was no longer an artist in training. When getting back into drawing I was drawn to pornography and then fashion models. I hope to never get stuck in a style. I'd love to hear what questions you have for me. I love the interaction with other artists.
