My closest friends know me to always have paint on my hands, my clothes, and somehow even in my hair…

Painting has helped me find myself as an artist, a person, and as an instructor. My passion for traditional painting is incredibly integeral to the creation of all my artwork- physical or digital. My experiences with painting have influenced the way I approach color, have helped me understand the physics of light, and even forced me to gain patience- in both myself and the creative process. Painting with oils and acrylics makes my heart so happy, and I am even lucky enough to share this joy with others through leading painting classes.
