“By day, I’m a recruiting manager for an accounting firm. I love it because I’m helping people get placed in a career path that makes them happy --- so that is certainly fulfilling --- but art is my passion. It’s what I really want to be doing all day every day. I graduated from the University of Memphis with a degree in education and a minor in sociology, and the only art class I’ve ever taken was Art Appreciation when I was a freshman. But I’ve painted for as long as I can remember. I fell in love with art after visiting the Metropolitan Museum in New York when I was ten years old, and I’ve loved it ever since. Painting is what keeps me sane. It’s my peace of mind. I come home from work and pick up the paintbrush. It’s absolutely my favorite thing --- and the complete opposite of what I do all day long. People sometimes ask me why I didn’t major in art. I don’t know. That’s a good question. But I’m doing it now.”
