I have been creating art as long as I could hold a crayon, brush, pen... (This caused my parents no end of grief, as no surface was safe from my decorations - including carpets!) As an adult, I finally discovered how to love oil painting. Since then, I've worked on defining my style, my stroke, and have also embraced digital painting (mostly in ArtRage -- what a great little program it is growing up to be!) to supplement me in cold weather as I do not have an indoor studio at the moment.
