As a young girl, I dreamed of becoming an artist. I began taking oil painting classes as early as junior high school and quickly fell in love with texture and vibrant colors. My earliest influence was Vincent Van Gogh and his work in The Poet's Garden III and A Road at Saint-Remy with Female Figure, greatly influenced my approach to painting.

Soon after beginning my undergraduate studies I quickly realized that self-study was the right approach for me. Through countless hours of personal study and exploration I experimented with different mediums and techniques. My fascination with art that appears as messy globs of paint close up and a moving perfection from a distance helped guide my approach to my own work.

I use only a palette knife with impasto (wet on wet) techniques to create a depth you can literally touch.

My work is award winning and collected privately and corporately in cities and states across the US and in the UK.
