At the age of 5, I decided that I would be an artist for the rest of my life. I was born in Roswell, NM and raised on a family owned farm near Dexter, NM where my journey into art began.

I started taking lessons at the age of 10 from a local Art Teacher, Dorothy Steinberger, continuing through High School with instruction from a highly respected Artist and School Teacher, Paul Drum. Mr. Drum inspired me and still does to this day. After graduating from Dexter High School, I attended the Colorado Institute of Art and have spent my life doing fine art and graphic design and murals.

My face painting career started in 1994 as a hobby at small festivals using acrylic paints. In 2002 at a festival in Grapevine, TX, I made the acquaintance of another face painter, Judy Kubik, who introduced me to professional make-up. At that time I had no idea how profoundly this would change my life. Since then I have held the position of lead painter and art director for Living Color in Dallas and have done live demos on Channel 8 in New York at the Great New York State Fair and on FOX 4 in Dallas at the Texas State Fair. I was a featured Artist in the Face and Body Painting International Magazine Vol 9 in 2004 and won “Best Over All” at the International Face and Body Art Convention in Orlando.

After placing 6th in the world at the 2007 World Body Painting Festival in Seeboden, Austria, I returned in 2008 to place first in the preliminaries and 3rd overall in the world in the sponge and brush category.

I am available for private sessions as well as Corporate Promotional Events.
