Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.
-Leonardo da Vinci
Ever since I could pick up a pencil I coudn't stop drawing. It would start off as drawing animals, then people, and eventually landscapes and buildings. Growing up, my life was filled with design. My parent's greatest hobby was buying old 1920's houses and implementing mass construction, creating them into beautiful, restored homes. I remember enjoying watching and living in the transformation.
I grew up in Orlando, Florida before moving to Minneasota to attend the Art Institute International Minnesota, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. Going to school confirmed my true desire to create and inspire.
