Having the opportunity to study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and graduating from the American Academy of Art, allowed me to see the human body as a beautiful composition. Working with pastels, charcoals, oils, watercolors and an array of other mediums taught me that I could learn how to use a variety of products, and master the ones I truly enjoyed. Drawing and painting allowed me to learn, dream, fail and succeed. Life lessons that never end.
