Born in Oklahoma but never lived there until 1995. Raised in New Orleans and that is my home. Went to University of New Orleans and took myriad workshops from local artists-rest is self taught by observation and emotional involvement in the need to create art. Art is a passion and drives me at times. My passions are God, Art, Family. My dream is to paint myself into retirement. JCDZINE.COM is my web site that is under construction.more
