I earned a bachelor of arts degree with a major in photography and an emphasis in painting at Columbia College in Columbia, Mo. I was employed by a photographer going on shoots and working with images in Photoshop, and illustrated a children's book titled Buried Treasure written by Susan K. White. I do freelance photography, drawings, paintings and photo restorations. I specialize in portraits. Whether it is photography, drawing or painting, I always enjoy capturing a person’s distinct personality. I love to sit and work on a drawing or painting of one central object or person.
