Education

        "Be always searching, never settle to do something you've done before.     Always look for the unexpected ...you can have no formulas for anything,    search constantly. Don't learn how to do things, keep on inquiring how.    You must keep up an attitude of continuous study and so develop yourself.
   I don't know a better definition of an artist than one who is eternally    curious."
                                                                                    - Charles Hawthorne

        An artist since childhood, I think I must have gone through every genre, from    abstract to impressionism and classical. Digital art is also very exciting in ways that    are still be discovered. I love it all. There are no rules in art , only ways, and all artist    strive to practice these ways as well as they can. I was fortunate to have studied with    some very wonderful artists at fine schools. At the Schulers School I was able to    immerse myself in the classical realms, at UMBC I was inspired and trained to    embrace  the newest technologies and intellectual challenges.
