In 2022, at the age of 48, I decided to pick up a brush and some paint and giving acrylic painting a try. I did not realize that I would find a new love and passion. In that short time, I won Best Painting with the Cowboy True competition, won the Art Battle a few times now, and have participated in several shows and exhibits. Every time I put my brush to canvas I learn something new and exciting, and I hope to continue to grow my creativity in the years to come.
