I’m a visual artist specializing in oil and acrylic paint, pastels, and pencils. My process is grounded in a relaxed yet deliberate approach, building each piece with layered imagery and color. My work is often inspired by daydreams and a desire to escape reality. I find inspiration in the subtleties of everyday life—whether it’s a captivating color palette or an intriguing pose.

Spontaneity plays a central role in my creative process. My portfolio is built directly form my sketchbook - initial concept sketches develop from raw ideas into evolved, informed compositions. I’m truly satisfied when transforming these early thoughts into finished works that resonate with depth and aesthetic power.

I earned my BFA from the Gwen Frostic School of Art at Western Michigan University in 2022. I currently reside in Chicago, Illinois with my partner and our two beautiful cats.
