Welcome to my Site

I actually started college as a music major, planning to pursue a career in music. I’ve always loved singing and playing piano, but along the way, I realized that while music was a passion, it wasn’t where I felt at home. That place was art. Once I made the switch, I never looked back.

In college, I experimented with all sorts of mediums—from painting to printmaking to sculpture—but I kept coming back to charcoal and portrait drawing. There was something about capturing human expression that fascinated me. I loved painting, too, and while I enjoyed exploring different techniques, I quickly learned that pottery was not my calling—let’s just say the pottery wheel and I never quite got along!

After earning my BA in Fine Art (Drawing Concentration) with a Business Administration minor, I continued creating and teaching, but my focus on selling my own work really ramped up during COVID. With extra time when the bakery I worked at wasn’t open every day and teaching shifting from in-person to online, I had the opportunity to dedicate more time to developing and selling my artwork. That experience helped shape the direction of my career, allowing me to balance my love for creating, teaching, and sharing art with others.
