Hi and welcome! Thanks so much for stopping in to take a look around my profile!
I am 18, and entirely self taught. I've been drawing since the day I could hold a pencil, and work in all medias. My forte though is work with charcoal and graphite. I have an un-explainable passion for the realm of equestrian art and rarely draw anything else unless commissioned. I have always loved horses and I honestly cannot think of a more breath taking creature. If you feel the same, throw me a line! I love to meet and discuss with fellow equestrian artists!
I draw with the hope that someday my art will inspire others to draw! I am very blessed to already see that coming to pass though. This past summer I began personal art lessons and it quickly grew into a series of classes. I now teach a full two days out of my week with 25 students. I must say, I have grown more in just one year of teaching than I have in the 4 years of high school dedicated to art. Something about diving into the "how" rather than just "doing" has really completed my own technique.
Something else I hope I will also pass on to others is my faith. I am saved by the Grace of God, and I give him full credit and glory for whatever talents I may have!
