I am a full time professional artist working in Oil and Acrylics who loves to paint the figure, landscapes and florals.

The non-profit Neighborhood Gallery for the World. And the Center for Drawing Education in the Midwest. Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center was founded in 2004 by Cincinnati area professors and students. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization headquartered in the historic urban neighborhood of East Walnut Hills in Cincinnati, Ohio. The elegant street level exhibition space is minutes away from downtown Cincinnati, and the numerous academic institutions of higher learning in the region. It is also within easy walking distance of a diversely populated historic neighborhood with residents from all walks of life. The galleries are free and open to the public five or more hours per day (including evenings), five days a week, presenting unique and widely varied exhibitions featuring jury-selected works by artists from around the world. The 3000 square foot Manifest Drawing Center studio is located at the other end of Madison Road in another revitalizing urban community of Madisonville, about seven miles from the gallery. The Drawing Center offers life-drawing sessions for artists of all levels, as well as independent college level workshops and public demos throughout the year. Manifest is supported by grants and public donations and has the goal to support student professionalism, integrate the arts into the urban residential community and raise the bar on artistic standards. The mission also includes the exploration of the relationship between art and design, as well as the ongoing support and display of drawing in all its various forms. 1,502 artists have had work included in Manifest Exhibits and Publications since January 2005 Since January 2005, and as of November 2013, partway through its tenth season, Manifest has presented 136 exhibitions and published 14 books and 74 exhibition catalogs representing 3,698 works by 1,502 artists from 49 states and 39 countries. Throughout these projects 147 academic institutions have been represented by student artwork. Gallery exhibits in Manifest's East Walnut Hills location on Woodburn Avenue have included 2,300 works by 1,076 artists from 48 states and 27 countries.
