I’ve always had a love of drawing and art since I was a young child. Some of my best memories are of growing up at our home out in the country, and five acres that had a pond where I used to fish a lot. I grew up learning how to work in the garden at a very young age as well. My summers were spent on our old front porch swing talking with my dad. I remember in the fall, canning fruits and vegetables from our garden and fruit trees. The old home has since been knocked down, but I will always have my memories. I also got my love of animals and music from my father.view less
