When I began my undergraduate education I attended North Texas State University. I majored in cards and girls, and excelled at both. Unfortunately my academic studies suffered and I was an average student at best. I made several attempts to complete my education, but most of what I learned was from the streets. I concluded my college studies in art at Texas Christian University under Professor Jim Woodson. I studied privately with artist and teacher Michael Ann Harper and with renowned watercolorist Charles Reid. My work has been shown at Hilton Head Art League in Hilton Head South Carolina, Culture Clash Gallery in Salida, Colorado, Fort Worth Community Art Center and at the Bass Performance Hall, Fort Worth, Texas. I am a member of the Texas Artist Coalition.

I am an avid poet and will be publishing a poetry collection, Collage - Poems From the West Side, in the coming months. The book and audiobook will be available soon.   I am a member The Poetry Society of Texas and the Academy of American Poets. 

I am a singer/songwriter and have produced two studio albums which are available on Amazon and all digital music platforms. My latest album, Collage - Songs From the West Side, will be available on all digital platforms in 2023.
