I have always loved drawing even when I was a very young kid. I would paint also but it never gave me the joy that drawing does. Discovering professional colored pencils some years ago was a huge turning point in my life. I could do what I loved most but in color. Teaching color pencil techniques is such a rewarding part of my art journey. Showing others what I have discovered through the years and learning new things along the way is so exciting and never gets old.
