Background
Photography:
I have been fascinated by photography for as long as I can remember. My parents bought me a "U-Build Camera" kit when I
was in grade school and I've enjoyed taking photos ever since. I bought my first 35mm SLR in 1993 and started studying photography
on my own. I later enrolled in a correspondance course with the New York Institute of Photography to learn about professional
photography. I have always enjoyed capturing a piece of personality on film, whether it be of a person, animal, or thing. I
also like creating digital art with the use of a digital SLR and Adobe Photoshop (which is another self-learned
interest).
In the past, I have worked as a portrait photographer at Studio One-to-One (which was formerly Glamour Shots) at Grapevine
Mills and I have done work out of a home studio in San Antonio, Texas to include weddings, debuts, fashion, families, babies,
and headshots for performing artists, etc. I am currently available to do a variety of portraits as a private photographer.
Arts/Crafts:
I have sold dreamcatchers and bead creatures at "Indian Joes" and spider jewelry and bead creatures at "Nightmare on Grayson"-
both in San Antonio. My crafts and paintings were also sold at "Uptown Antiques, Downtown Flea Market" in Texarkana,
Texas. I have also sold photography, art, bead creatures, and crystal/stone jewelry in an eBay store that preceeded this
website.
General:
I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Arts in Zoology. I have done work in
various fields to include the educational, military, medical, martial arts, zoological, and photographic fields. I am also
a Reiki Master in Usui Teate Reiki, & Organic Reiki and have been studying other alternative healing arts.
