I am a self-taught artist and have been drawing since childhood. Though colored pencil has been my medium of choice for the last twelve years, I have also dabbled in graphite and most recently, pastels. I find drawing from nature to be the most rewarding and birds/wildlife tend to be my subject of choice.
