I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but I now call Nashville, Tennessee home.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Human Environmental Sciences from the University of Alabama, focusing on apparel and textile design. My artistic journey encompasses several credits from institutions such as the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, the Fashion Institute of Technology, and Parsons School of Design. My preferred mediums include oil paint, oil pastel, pencil, pen, charcoal, and marker. I center my work around human/animal portraiture, still life, and illustrative art.
Delving into portraiture was a natural choice, as I am deeply fascinated with people and their intricate narratives, experiences, family histories, cultural influences, and religious backgrounds. My inspirations stem from the Baroque era, which captivates me with its use of contrast, intensity, and drama.
I believe that every individual has a story worth telling and the power to make a significant impact, propelling me to create portraits that celebrate each person's unique essence.
