I'm an amateur artist living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and I absolutely love creativity. Art has been a major part of my life since I was 6 years old. I remember drawing Ninja Turtles, telling myself I would someday be a comic book artist for DC or Marvel.

Over the years my interest in art has evolved. I love every aspect of it from painting to music. I've recently started doing serious photography and am learning everything I can in order to create more dazzling artwork. I've also gotten very involved with digital media. I love taking something ordinary and making it extraordinary!

I hope that my site inspires you to look into yourself and find the means by which to express yourself as an individual. I am always looking to meet fellow artist's so that we can sharpen one another's skills, and just meeting people that appreciate art in general.

No matter where you are in the U.S., if you would like to purchase copies of my artwork, or would like to just drop a line and say hello, feel free to send me an e-mail at crmakkonen@gmail.com. Thank you for taking the time to drop by and look at my work, have a wonderful day!
