I`ve been making art since I was very young. It was my passion through grade school and what I pursued in college. I received a degree in illustration from Hussian School of Art in Philadelphia, and I studied drawing and painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
I am passionate about portrait painting and the challenge of capturing the unique and true spirit of each subject. I also love landscape painting, especially in the tradition of plein aire.
I show my work regularly in the Delaware Valley at both art festivals and plein aire competitions, and I often teach community art classes and give painting demonstrations.
