even though I have been painting all my life Ive recently opened up my company, calling it Naiad ( noun (in classical mythology) a water nymph said to inhabit a river, spring, or waterfall. the aquatic larva or nymph of a dragonfly, mayfly, or stonefly. a submerged aquatic plant with narrow leaves and minute flowers.) in 2011 in Michigan before I moved to SD. I began painting years ago and selling my paintings to friends and friends of friends acquaintances. when I felt I needed more work, I began an add on Craigslist advertising murals and my paintings. I have Murals in Downtown San Diego's Coyote Ugly, and Double Deuces doing adds for Jaegermeister. I also did a mural for seal team Number 7 in their barracks, also I've done a massive Torrey pine at a bike shop in Claremont called Anywhere Bicycle Repair (http://anywherebicyclerepair.com). Ive done Book covers, and painted furniture, designed tattoos, portraits of loved ones. My goal is to be as creative as I can be and try to do as much as possible, helping others with their ideas, and making them come to life, whatever your creative needs are, I enjoy being creative.
