I started drawing and painting when I was a child and have always had a passion for art. Growing up I took as many art classes in school as allowed and have done everything from murals on school walls and homes, to paintings and drawings for personal clients, and for my own pleasure.

I have also played concert violin since I was 11 years old. I have been in the Central Valley Youth Symphony, the Stagg High School orchestra, as well as my grammar and junior high school orchestras’ where I had won the Director's award for “Most Accomplished Musician.”

I am now 27 years old and have two children and a loving husband. I teach my children to love music and art and to find beauty in everything and in everyone.

I am very honored to present this piece because it combines two of the things that I hold very close to my heart.
