As Greek mythology goes, the universe was once a big soup of nothingness. Then, two things happened: either Chaos or Gaia created the universe as we know it, or Ouranos and Tethys gave birth to the first beings.

Art and computers have been part of my life since I was young. I grew up with paint brushes in my hand, and a basement that doubled as a studio. I spent many days working in our family's basement, listening to the floorboards creak overhead. Though all of that changed the moment Photoshop came out.
My talent with art and a love of computers has helped me to win numerous international awards, both in traditional and nontraditional mediums and lead me into a career that has allowed me to share my passion with others. Over the last two decades, I have been privileged to teach students in the classroom, guiding and supporting them in their personal journey to find their own passion.
But it is when I read an article about a lost world, the Gulf Oasis, that a new direction in my life opened up. Over the last three years, I have been able to use my years of experience as an educator and artist to unravel this lost world and develop a unique and intensely personal style of art based on the science of the day and the mythology of our ancient past.
