With a BFA degree from Bowling Green State University, I have begun to establish myself as a commissioned artist and muralist. As a muralist fresh out of college, I have been hired to paint several murals locally. I primarily paint high detailed images that have a trompe l'oeil feel to them. Of my commissions I have painted for WTOL news's Colleen Wells as well as several others. Beyond murals I have quickly become one of Cedar Creek Church's live/ speed painters and have helped raised nearly $3,000 for the church. As a commissioned artist, I have painted everything from detailed family portraits to restoring antique lamps. As the current visual assistant at Bass Pro Shops, it is my job to paint signs, fix murals, and arrange displays and taxidermy throughout the store. It is my desire to become an established muralist and commissioned muralist throughout the Toledo area.
