I was raised in Baltimore County, MD. A true wild child of the woods who preferred playing in the mud, howling at the moon, building forts and spending all day climbing trees. Born into a family of artists my creativity flourished. My mother is a professional artist and has been my number one teacher and inspiration from the beginning. Being brought up in the art scene of York, PA and Baltimore, MD has given me unique insight into what it means being apart of a strong and loyal artist community who supports each other. I am now a wife and mother, living in Pittsburgh, PA and blessed with the opportunity to make art everyday,

I work in many different mediums. Anything I can get my hands on to try something new. I started my career mainly using pencil. The first tool any artist truly learns to use.

I work in many different mediums. Anything I can get my hands on to try something new. I started my career mainly using pencil. The first tool any artist truly learns to use.

 Abstract allows me to be free with my movements and expression! Acrylic dries quickly, allowing me to layer my emotions onto the canvas as I feel them.

Watercolors are a whole new experience In freedom! As the colors flow with the water, I embrace their organic nature and work with it rather than trying to control it. The ink pen then helps me to redefine my lines and shapes in order to bring the subject to life. 

I am always aiming to find that space inside myself where I can let go and freely become the instrument in which the universe can then use to create something that invokes a true genuine feeling. 

This also applies to the way I approach my pet portraiture. I respect animals as the individuals they are. The unique relationship they have wit

I am always aiming to find that space inside myself where I can let go and freely become the instrument in which the universe can then use to create something that invokes a true genuine feeling. 

This also applies to the way I approach my pet portraiture. I respect animals as the individuals they are. The unique relationship they have with their owner that thrives off love. This is what I try to recreate in my portraits. The one-of-a-kind personality into a one-of-a-kind portrait.
