Born in Buffalo, NY, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Sculpture with a minor in Art History from SUNY Fredonia. Since graduation, I have embarked on a journey of exploration and community engagement.

Since my son was a year old while finishing my degree, I knew that in my chest, I imagined an art career for myself. At that time, I did not know which direction my artwork would lead, but knew when I created, my feelings directed my artworks. After three years of experimentation from fine line drawing to printmaking, putting a paint brush to canvas again would be the beginning. Painting allowed my conceptual imagination to flourish.

Inspired by the conceptual symbolism of surrealism, literature, empathy, and sociopolitical events, I have created multimedia paintings that break the canvas. In these artworks, I bring the viewer into contemplation of our turbulent world and the actions we can take to achieve a better one.

Currently, I channel my passion for art and its transformative power as a traveling artist, bringing the joy of painting and the richness of art history to retirement homes. My classes serve as a source of inspiration and connection for senior citizens, fostering an environment where creativity knows no age boundaries.

My hope is to create interactive art experiences and dedicated to making art accessible and impactful for audiences of all ages.
