Hi Everyone,
I'm glad to be part of this forum and community. William Whitaker encouraged me to join the community here so I took his advice. I have gleaned so much information from just browsing through the threads here over the last year. It will be nice to be fully involved now.

I started drawing and painting about 3 1/2 years ago when I couldn't stand my office job any longer. I was trained in an atelier in South Dakota named Pantura Studios that has now closed down and moved to Sweden. The style of training was a modified version of Florence Academy of Art's program. I'm now in the process of building up my body of work to begin my professional career. I also currently teach a small number of dedicated students. You can view my website here if you are interested:

Also I attached a portrait I recently completed at one of Bill's (William Whitaker's) workshops.
