Art has been my passion my entire life. As a kid it was making mud pies in the backyard with my sister, creating "multimedia" doodles of whales with band-aids, and getting up early to watch Pappy Land. Anyone remember that show? It was awesome. In middle school I went to an art camp at a local university during the summers where I took a variety of art classes, but my favorite was always photography. I remember learning how to develop prints in the darkroom and thought it was the coolest thing. When I was 14 I got my first real (SLR) camera. My grandfather's '73 Minolta to be exact (you know, the heavy-duty metal kind that were virtually indestructible), and it was then that my interest in photography grew to love...or obsession. When I went to college I really started to find a focus for my creative ambitions. Photography and graphic design took leading roles in my studies and I have become fascinated by them.
I was born and raised in South Carolina, but moved to Chattanooga, TN after marrying the love of my life.
