I started painting back in high school just as a hobby.  I went onto college and got a BS in Athletic Training and a MS in Sports Medicine.  I worked for UPMC Health System as an Athletic Trainer with their orthopedic surgeons as well as a high school and college.  I then decided to move back to Virginia were I was originally from and took a job as a Personal Trainer.  My job as a personal trainer led me to Arizona to help the company I was with.  After working as a personal trainer for 5 years and having a daughter, I decided to stay home with her.  I started in the direct sales company which I currently continue.  I had many inquiries about my mural painting from friends and family who have seen them, wanting to know if I would come and paint for them.  I just started recently with a few jobs and have decided to add it to what I am currently doing.  I love painting, it is so relaxing and fun.
