History:

I spent 5 years in college as an art major, learning painting and printmaking which lead me to doing Murals and Faux finishing in the the DC metro are and around the country for large corporations. this lead to painting furniture and which lead me into restoring furniture and classes to conservation and preservation of art and antiques. Next I studied Water Gilding which lead me into restoring Hundreds of antique frames and gilding projects.

I love using my many talents and serving the public with them, this is art to me and my 3rd love after my Lord and my Family.
