How It Started

I started painting miniatures in 1996, and I developed my own techniques and reputation, having won numerous awards at local events. From 1999 to 2003 I was an elementary school teacher in East Palo Alto, California. When the pay cuts came in the summer of 2003, after five years of pouring my soul into my classroom, I started painting figures on commission to make ends meet. The commissions kept coming in.

Late in 2003 my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He always had an entrepreneurial spirit and in his last days he told me that life was too short, and to pursue my dreams with all my heart and strength. The week after he passed away, I opened Blue Table Painting. I worked out of my garage for about six months. Then my family and I moved to Spanish Fork, Utah. Shortly thereafter, I started looking for local talent to train in my unusual style. As things continued to grow, I opened a studio in downtown Spanish Fork. Now, talented artists from around the country have come to unite their dream under Blue Table's banner.
