Art has always been a part of my life. Ever since I was five and I fingerprinted my first self portrait my childhood was perpetually speckled with spouts of imagination.  Prior to becoming a full time artist, I was a honor student in high school, an English Major in college, and a middle school history teacher for 10 years.  My life was full, but not complete.

But today, my life is different.  Today, I don't make lesson plans, grade papers, or recreationally read Shakespeare. Today, I am an artist who specializes in capturing the likeness of a person with the use of paper, resulting in (what has been described as) a cute, charming, and mostly accurate portrait.  I collaborate with companies and clients to design pieces that visually convey a message they wish to communicate to the world.  I connect with other artists, gaining growing and learning along the way.  I create passionate and personalized pieces for people I may never meet but will always know. My style is minimal, and the process can be long, but the joy is genuine in every picture I make.
