Creating has always been a big part of who I am. I've had a very long career working in the fashion industry. Having to deal with a global pandemic gave me time to reevaluate my career choices, sparking my decision to focus on my own creative endeavors. I find peace in the process of making artwork, and I love being able to translate thoughts to a tangible piece.

"The purpose of Art is washing the dust from daily life off our souls" - Pablo Picasso

​

I went to a well-known art school in NYC, but I did not major in fine art. I graduated in fashion design and worked for years in the fashion industry, an industry I found to be both hectic and wonderful. I am not professionally trained in fine art.  You will not find a list of art shows or artist awards on this site. Most of the work I have created has merely been for my own enjoyment.

For me, being a creative person does not mean you must follow an exact path or keep creating the same type of art. I personally feel that artists can lock themselves in a certain direction, creating a restrictive divide between their art and themselves. It can be fun to explore new mediums and techniques to expand your personal knowledge.

I currently keep busy with some small commissions to support my needed art supplies. I'm excited to continue my journey and I look forward to hitting some bumps along the way. I hope those visiting my website will find joy in the work I produce.

 

With Sincere Thanks,
