I grew up on a small goat and chicken farm in Stafford Springs, CT where I learned the skills of an artist in my early childhood from the most talented artist and teacher I know...my Mom. Throughout my elementary and high school experience, I entered and won several art competitions and school contests. I attended Ithaca College, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Art degree in 1997. There, I progressively fine-tuned my skills and understanding of art in everyday life throughout human history. My artwork was the main feature of the senior class art show in the Handwerker Gallery of Ithaca College and also featured in the Ithacan, the college newspaper.

Immediately after graduating college, I moved to New York City and began to work as an assistant to an established sculptor in the art community, Petah Coyne and as a gallery assistant to the David Beitzel Gallery. After learning the valuable lessons of the business side of art, I launched my career in painting homes and restaurants in New York City and Long Island.

I have since expanded to Philadelphia, PA, where I live, and Greenwich, CT. I am currently working with a very talented, up and coming, interior designer, Elements by Mirella Harrison, who specializes is conceptualizing mural design and painted decorative interior elements. I was recently featured in one of her advertisements in the March Issue of Greenwich Homes.

I am passionate about art and it's importance in life. I work to provide rich decorative elements that both inspire and create a sanctuary from the hectic world outside. And I can only dream to be recognized and remembered in art history.
