I was inspired by my aunt Mary and my mother to do mosaics after seeing my aunt's gallery in San Angelo. I like doing mosaics because they are a venue that suits my creativity,without having to be as "gifted" or talented as, say, someone who paints. I just don't have the natural gift to draw or paint, I have tried, but I think this suits me better. Mosaics also require me to look everywhere for different mediums to use in my work to keep it from getting stale.

I currently live with my fiancee, Judy, and two dogs,two cats,and multiple fish. I have five (that's right, FIVE, kids. Two live in Round Rock and three live in Houston.Their ages are 15,12,11,7 and 6. I am an electrician during the day,and an artist in my spare time.
