I grew up in southeast Michigan. My inspiration to create led me to Chicago, where I attended The School of the Art Institute and then onto the Columbus College of Art and Design, where I attained my BFA degree. Since that time, I have dedicated my life and career to creating mural art through my company Jarvis Art Studio. In addition, I have exhibited in galleries, museums and private collections throughout the U.S. and the world and have 30 years of design and mural painting experience.
