OpenTheShutter

I have been studying art my entire adult life. Introduced to photography at a young age, I began my career shooting photos in my backyard. My dad, also an accomplished artist, enriched my early portfolio with many unique and diverse photographic opportunities, including western vistas, Missouri wildlife, and subterranean caves. My first camera, the Canon T-70, is still a personal favourite and remains in use. Graudate of the University of Missouri-Rolla, and a true Renaissance man, I have a passionate curiousity. I carry with me significant aptitudes in literature, psychology, philosophy, computer science, and graphics arts that continue beyond my collegiate careers. In 2000, I began painting professionally. Since that time, I have created over 100 pieces of original abstract art. I have been extremely lucky to show my work to countless patrons and professionals. Most importantly, I am very proud to support the Saint Louis community and sponsor the arts. I am currently pursuing a second bachelor of arts degree in graphic design at St. Louis Community College at Meramec. Currently, I'm 34 years old, I study eastern philosophy, live in Saint Louis and I manage my own studio.
