Industry	Arts
Occupation	Independent Artist and Martial Arts Instructor
Location	Northern Co., United States
Introduction	As an Independent Artist, I balance my work between illustration and design, to modern impressionism and abstract through varied mediums and subjects. I teach private art lessons in drawing basics because I believe that one must have a strong foundation in drawing to grow their artistic abilities from. Outside of the art world, I am a 4th degree black belt in Kenpo Karate and also chief instructor running my own martial arts classes and women's self defense workshops.

Favorite Movies	Kill Bill Vol. 1&2, Braveheart, Waynes World, The Crow, Monty Pythons Search for the Holy Grail, Paranormal Activity, Zombieland...
