ABOUT ME: *I am a full-time, working artist* in Philadelphia, PA, where I have been based since 2011. A NY native, I have a Bachelors of Fine Art in Drawing & Painting from Alfred University (2006) and a Masters of Fine Art in Drawing & Painting from the Pennsylvania State University (2010). I began using watercolor in 2005 while studying abroad at the Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence, Italy. I am also proficient in oil and acrylic/latex, am an avid sketchbook user, and sometimes create collages from found objects. In addition to my Studio practice, I also gig as a scenic artist (painting scenery and backdrops for opera, theatre, tv, museums etc) and muralist in and around Philadelphia. Until the Pandemic I also taught as an adjunct instructor at several colleges and universities in the Mid-Atlantic region.

**HOW TO ORDER**
1. To ensure the highest quality of work, please allow ample time for the creation of your custom order. Turnaround time varies by the size, complexity and medium of your project, time of year and the artist’s availability/current workload. The AVERAGE time for a custom watercolor is 7-10 business days, before shipping. The AVERAGE time for a custom oil painting is 3-4 months. Expect longer wait times on orders placed between November and December.
2. Send me ONE CLEAR PHOTO via Etsy. It is recommended that you provide a photo from the exact ANGLE, TIME OF DAY, and TIME OF YEAR that you want your Interior Space depicted, although modifications can be discussed! Remember, the better the photo you provide me, the better a painting I can make for you! Additional detail photos may also be provided if considered helpful or necessary.
3. In your message, please also include the Interior Space's NAME or LOCATION (i.e "123 Market St" or "Christmas at Grandma's"). This will be used as the painting's title and will be written on the BACK of the painting.
4. MODIFICATIONS: It is always recommended that you send me the best quality photo that most closely resembles the painting you would like me to create. However, there are many changes that I can make. Please make all requests when you place your order as certain requests may not be possible once your painting is already underway.
OMISSIONS: The following items will *automatically* be omitted from your image unless requested otherwise: human figures, clutter, etc. Please indicate if there is any additional imagery you would like to be OMITTED from your painting (no additional charge). Note: Imagery cannot be omitted once production has begun!!
ADDITIONS/MODIFICATIONS: Commonly requested modifications include (but are not limited to): changing the color of the sky, changing the season, adding vehicles/pets, or creating a composite image from multiple photos. You can purchase Modifications from my "Custom Paintings" section on my shop. Please make all requests for modifications before work has begun on your painting.
TIPS FOR GOOD REFERENCE PHOTOS:
*Please include ONE (1) *CLEAR, WELL-LIT* reference photo that showcases your home/landscape at the exact angle, time of day, time of year, weather etc. that you would like depicted. Detail photos are welcome if applicable/necessary. Remember, THE BETTER THE REFERENCE PHOTO, THE BETTER THE PAINTING! Your cooperation makes my job easier and helps to keep prices low*
*Take your photo in clear light at the time of day and time of year that you want your home depicted from. Beware of shadows and backlighting that may make your location’s unique details hard to see.
*Remove any unwanted objects from your image
*Crop your image to include landscaping and exclude neighboring properties, whenever possible
