Born in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1972, my adventures in art began when my grandmother would encourage me to enter art contests as a child. As I grew older and entered the school system, I was always drawing and thinking with a creative mind. In middle school I started getting involved with ceramics and I loved it. In high school I continued with ceramics and dove into glazes and under gazing and the art of firing. During my senior year of high school, I started to adding color to my art. I was lucky enough to have great art teachers that recognized that I had a talent. I am thankful that they pushed me to become the artist that I am today. I began experimenting with oil paints, water colors and acrylics during my senior year of high school. For the first time in my life I was painting and I loved it! The year was 1991 and my soul awakened by the sight of paint on canvas. I would paint where ever and whenever I could. I started to realize that music and color complimented each other quite well and that optical illusions on canvas usually surfaced in my art. After high school, I moved to Tampa, Florida and enrolled in a technical institute to sharpen my computer and graphic art skills. The year was 1999 and I started playing around with an idea of performing on stage as an art alongside a musician and or a DJ. This idea grew into something I now call 'Live Vibe Art”. Live vibe art has taken me too many different venues in many different cities. I have performed and coordinated countless art shows, fundraisers and parties; including orchestrating my own art show in upper eastside in Manhattan, NY. I started my own LLC art company called 'United Family of Souls' or 'UFOS ART'. I am proud to have sold many originals and prints of my work and can be found on several sites on the internet. I currently reside in Tampa, Florida and continue to perform and create new works of art. My motto is 'Never Stop Creating' and I won’t!
