I opened my studio at Lafayette Renaissance Academy in Lafayette, IN in October 2005. After that I managed to get into every art fair and show I could find. The most well-known fair was the Round the Fountain art fair. I also managed to get into the First Annual Art on the Wabash. I also had one of my designs adapted for the Words on the Go project. In 2006 alone, I had "Boy Painting" at the Museum of Art, "Man in Black" at the Lillian Fendig Gallery in Renselear,
