Profile

Hometown:: Houston, TX

Relationship Status:: It's Complicated

About Me:: The best way to understand me is to just look at my life's work.
I've been a visual artist since birth, have been known by over a dozen aliases and have been involved with even more projects/organizations over the last 2 decades. What I enjoy most is Painting & Photography but I'm also skilled in Drawing, Printmaking, Framing, Art Handling, Digital Video, Graphic Design & Web Design. I currently represent myself and I'm more interested in starting up a gallery/shop as opposed to nesting underneath the wing of an existing one. I joined ArtsHouston with the hope to meet other hard working artists in Houston to share ideas and grow with.

At 9:29am on February 17th, 2008, STARBUCKS said…: Hello, our Starbucks Silent Auction started 4 years ago after one of our beloved customers lost his battle with AIDS. We have since hosted this auction to raise money for the AIDS Foundation Houston in his memory. Over the years, we have raised over $35,000. However, we could not be successful without the generosity of our local art community who has donated over the years. If you would like to donate an art piece to a great cause or help spread the word to fellow artists, we would appreciate it. Every dollar raised goes to AFH. If you need more info, contact Angela @ 713-521-7278. (3407 Montrose-Starbucks)
