I have had a passion for art since I was 3 or 4 years of age. My first memory of this was the excitement I felt after receiving a box of Crayola 64 crayons. I have been drawing for many years and the first medium I became proficient with was graphite. Several of the awards I have won have been in this medium. I also like working in charcoal and pastel. As for painting, I am relatively new at it. I prefer watercolor over acrylic and really don't care for oil.
