I started studying painting when I was 14, after buying a Bob Boss paint kit. I graduated from culinary school in 1996 and cooked and baked in Key West, Albuquerque and New Orleans. In 2005 I traded my chef knife for a palette knife as a means of survival. Since then I have dove into plein air painting. During the spring and fall I can be found on the fence of Jackson Square and the winters and summers I bounce around the USA and Mexico.more
