Art is a gift. One I was lucky enough to be given from a young age. I was raised in a household of creators, and soon realized that a home filled with the mark of the craftsman was a special place. Throughout school I studied art and craft and eventually became an educator, so I could share the gift of art with others.

Painting has become my medium of choice, especially plein air painting. I love the excitement of capturing the natural world quickly with just my palette knife and a few brushes. I am at my happiest when I am out in nature finding my flow in paint.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Jewelry design from The State University of New York at Buffalo (09) and a Master’s in Art Education from Nazareth College of Rochester (12). My artwork has been shown at The Comma Gallery, The Peg Bothner Gallery, The Junior League’s Decorator Showhouse 2023, Project 308 Gallery, The Nazareth Arts Center Gallery, The Margaret Colocino Gallery, The Erie County Botanical Gardens, and the Dr. Margaret Eschner Bacon Gallery. I am an artisan Member of the Tri-County Arts Council. I have taught at various schools and institutions including the Roycroft Campus in East Aurora, NY. In addition, I have worked for clients throughout the United States including, New York, Oklahoma, Maryland, North Carolina and Florida.
