Even from an early age I had the drive to become a professional artist. This led me to gain a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina. Aside from that I also studied Sequential Arts/Art Education at University of Maryland Eastern Shore for several years, and graduated from Art Instructional Schools.
Despite the heavy immersion I have had in comics and illustration I have marveled at the works of Van Gogh, Munch, Da Vinci. Arcimboldo is a personal favorite of mine. I want to one day find a way to use my art to tell fantastic stories that will captivate the viewer.
