In my early 20s I used my artistic talent to sustain me while camping as a lifestyle. During this period of my life I rode a motorcycle, lived in a tent and painted (usually watercolors) the world around me. As an avid bird watcher, I would try to incorporate local birds into my paintings. I could always sell or trade paintings for food and gas money and was free to roam wherever I wanted.
Eventually I made my way to Europe where I spent over a year indulging my adventurous spirit. However, one has to settle down some day, so now I live a normal life with family and friends, but I’ve been forever touched by my travels and the insight it gives my art.
