I’m a full-time artist living and working in New York City. Pre-pandemic I’d teach classes and workshops in Manhattan as well as around the world. Post-pandemic, I still instruct yearly workshops, but I focus more on posting positivity online, my youtube, and enjoying plein air painting.

Throughout my life I have moved around the USA (Georgia, New Mexico, Vermont, Texas, Hawaii, New York) and art has always been my constant.

I grew up in the best kind of art world, thanks to my mother being an artist. I’m drawn to all things creative and kind. I went through 4+ years of academic training from some of my favorite contemporary realism artists such as Scott Waddell and Tony Curanaj.

I love painting faces, flesh, and fabric. It gives me a thrill when I can make a painting or drawing truly feel tangible. I enjoy sharing what I know to students who share my love for realistic art. God, food, travel, animals and nature are other things that re-energize me.
