Art has always been a passion of mine and I've always drawn or was crafty in one way or another. In 2006, I took up painting in acrylics seriously. I took two quarters of acrylics with the intention of incorporating my work into web design.

One of the assignments I had was to do a series, so I choose to capture the growth of my labrador retriever, Smithy. Eventually, I'd like to continue my work with portraits. I also got a pen tablet recently, so I'm teaching myself to paint digitally as well.
