My Grandfather taught me how to paint when I was 9.  Every summer I entered a painting into the AZ State Fair and won the big ribbons.  It made me realize at an early age that I had a gift and a passion to be creative.  In college I studied Life Drawing and fell in love with capturing people.  In 2001 I moved to Hollywood, CA and started painting live at the most exciting parties in town.  Over 300 paintings and two Fender Guitars later, it's been AMAZING!

When you're painting parties there's no time to wait for paint to dry.  My subject matter is moving around constantly and it's nonstop excitement until the last guests leave.

My first Live "Event" Painting happened by accident.  I was invited to paint at a party on the top of the Hollywood Hills in CA. I usually had something in mind to paint but I was so inspired by the people dancing and the location of this incredible mansion called the "Fortress" that I began to paint what I was experiencing through my eye

My first Live "Event" Painting happened by accident.  I was invited to paint at a party on the top of the Hollywood Hills in CA. I usually had something in mind to paint but I was so inspired by the people dancing and the location of this incredible mansion called the "Fortress" that I began to paint what I was experiencing through my eyes. The owner of the home bought my painting and I've been inspired to paint parties ever since that special day in 2001.
