I've been drawing and creating since I was a small child. It's a part of who I am! I was always taking art classes in some form or another. At 12 years old I was permitted to attend an adult oil painting class, which with the help of a truly encouraging teacher, I leveled up quickly. As a child of a military family, I was also privileged to visit many museums while living in Europe and learned a lot about the old masters. I was inspired by Romanticism, Impressionism and Realism. During summers in high school, I was accepted into the painting and sculpture programs at L'Ecole nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. These opportunities cultivated a love of art and my desire to become a proficient oil painter. 

Recently, I have been painting primarily in oils, but have a look in my gallery and you will find works in watercolor, ink, acrylics, collage and many more mediums!
