My artistic journey began in early childhood, when I first fell in love with drawing and creative expression. That passion led me to a degree in Illustration from VCUarts, followed by a Master's in Art and Art Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. I'm now a visual artist and art teacher based in New York City.
My work explores how design and craft can push the boundaries of storytelling. I work primarily in printmaking, including lithography and screen printing, alongside watercolor, oil, and acrylic paint, creating delicate, detailed compositions inspired by nature, florals, and the depiction of women.
Outside the studio, you'll find me at ballet, figure skating, knitting, playing violin or piano, watching films, or just exploring the city around me. These passions all contribute to the richness of my creative expression and serve as a reminder of the many ways art can intersect with the rhythms of daily life.
