About
I am a visual artist involved in a lot of things. I love to create, and do so in many mediums. Photography, design, and painting are three of my favorite outlets. I really do not like to limit myself, I just like to create. I live to create, experiment, and share. This site is just the start of my sharing. It is in it’s infancy right now, and I am working on getting it as you read this.
Some things to look for that I am working on right now. Digital Paintings & Lomo Photography.

About the site:
I have been thinking a lot about changing my portfolio site into a blog. Finally I decided, why not. There are a few main reasons I wanted to set up a blog style site for my personal portfolio. Among those reasons: I wanted to start conversations, I wanted to post more photography, design, and artwork, I wanted to post items I find that I think are fun, useful, or just cool. Mostly I wanted to create a space for sharing my work, work that I like, and to talk to whomever may want to talk…
This site is new, and I am building slowly.
