My lifelong dedication to art has guided me through a journey marked by boundless creativity and artistic evolution. Originally from Massachusetts and educated in design and fine art in California, I began my career in interior design, crafting vibrant and impactful commercial and retail spaces across the U.S.

As my path unfolded, I found a deeper calling in education, channeling my background in design and love for fine arts into becoming a visual arts educator. Yet, at the heart of it all, I have always remained an artist. My work is a reflection of my passion for color, texture, and pattern, primarily through acrylics, a medium I love for its vibrant hues and fast-drying properties that allow me to keep pace with my creative flow.

My subject matter is whimsical and eclectic, blending abstracted backgrounds with real-world elements. I enjoy contrasting these with simple outlines and bold color combinations. Through layered compositions, I create a controlled chaos that offers both depth and energy.

Painting has always been my sanctuary. I often draw inspiration from my childhood in The Berkshires, where the lush gardens and landscapes continue to influence my work. Now a proud Texan for the past five years, I’m equally inspired by the beauty of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, particularly its public gardens and the creative spirit of the community.

My work is a testament to the merging of my design sensibilities, educational experiences, and a lifelong connection to the expressive power of art.
