I'm a self-taught artist who has painted as a hobby for several years
.During that time I have taken advantage of instructional videos, art magazines, and the internet to increase my knowledge and understanding of art as it applied to the medium I was using at the time.I've entered a few online contests and won Honorable Mention a couple of times in art competitions sponsored by The Oil Pastel Society, of which I was a member and was a finalist one year in the Art Kudos International Juried
Competition. I tried several different media during my artistic development and finally settled on oil pastel as my favorite.
