Hi there`! I have been an 'artist' since I can remember. All the way back to the first grade, I've kept a portfolio of drawings and 'creations'. When I graduated from high school, (where I spent any free block of my schedule in the art studio), I knew I wanted art to be a part of my college experience. I was excited to nurture my passion for art while continuing my education. Alongside a degree in Marketing, I was able to major in Studio Arts. Throughout my college years, I never felt like I had a style or medium that captured the message I was trying to portray. While I learned a great deal about the history of art, and even got to travel to some pretty amazing places to paint (Ireland was the bomb), it was frustrating to not have found myself over the years. As an artist you want to be proud of your art and feel good about it hanging on a wall by itself when you take a step back.

Not until just over a year of graduating did I get back into painting. And, I finally started to really enjoy the process and the finished pieces. We moved into a house where there was space for my own real studio, and now I have a stack of paintings piling up that I want to share with others.

I hope that you can find as much joy in my paintings as I finally do!
