About Me

My photo
I am an artist in mainly oil paintings and pencil drawing. I am far from professional but that is my goal. I think my work is good but will get much better with time and experience. I long to go to the Florence Academy of Art even if just for a trimester. I had art classes once a week with a local artist in Willcox, AZ from 12 - 16 years old. She taught me a lot, but I feel I am only now developing a style of my own.

Newest painting - self portrait

This is an oil self portrait that I just finished. I know it isn't perfect, but I like it how it is. Please feel free to comment if you like, thanks!

Updates


I haven't posted here in nearly a month! Well I haven't been able to accomplish much in the past few weeks with my art but I did some this weekend and hope to do a little more, maybe even finish a painting! I was planning to take a college course this fall at the local college but didn't get to do that this time around.

I am considering taking online courses through the Academy of Art University in San Francisco - it will take a few years to get an associates that way, but at least then I would have it. I can't decide between a traditional fine arts curriculum or a digital arts based program - either would be great. And they cater to mac users! Woo Hoo! It isn't cheap, so I would have to figure that out first, but at a couple classes a semester, it might be doable. It sounds like a great program, they don't try to cram everything into 5 weeks, it is on a traditional schedule and is accreditted.
