My Elephant piece will be on display from April 6th-April 10 at the University of the Arts, Art Unleashed Exhibition. 

This piece was an art challenge given to me by my 5th grade students so I owe them the biggest thank you. If it wasn't for there simple challenge to draw a elephant taking a bath I never would have created this illustration.

Thank You my fabulous 5th Grade art class.

Update 4/11/17- The UArts Art Unleashed Exhibition is over. I was honored to be part of this exhibition, helping raise money for a scholarship to my alma mater is so rewarding. I am even more honored that some out there bought my piece. I truly owe this all to my 5th grade students who challenged to me to draw and elephant taking a bath.

What he created captured me as a young kid; I fell in love with Peter Pan and Neverland, and the magic that the artist and animators created with each Disney film. It was my introduction into the arts and since then I fell in love with every aspect of the arts from visual to theater to music. I love art and its all because of Disney. So this is my ode to the Man and the Company who introduced art to me at a young age of 5.

I am working on an ABC's series using Iconic Disney Characters and Films.

I am currently redoing C and the rest of the alphabet, I hope to finish this series before the end of the year.

I was a High School graduate when Finding Nemo came out; now ten years later Finding Dory is coming out and I am still swimming through life. So with the release of Finding Dory just around the corner, here is a piece inspired by the little fish who reminds us to just keep swimming. 

This piece is created using Winsor Newton Pigment Markers.

I have a couple of new projects in the works and millions of ideas floating in my head.

Here is one idea I am currently working on, its a quote from Disney's Aladdin but a quote I think needs to be said more often. We need to stop judging each other based on looks but what is on the inside.
