Background
I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History.
When not creating art, you can find me cooking up a new recipe, taking a walk or listening to an audiobook. I have a passion for living life fully and making people happy.

Background
My latest obsessions are soft and oil pastels, as well as paper ephemera. By alternating between these mediums, I am able to fulfill different artistic and emotional needs. For me, oil pastels are much more "immediate." They allow me to quickly make my mark and move on. These works capture an energetic, almost compulsive, state.

Soft pastels, by comparison, allow me to be much more meditative, patiently sitting with the different colors and tediously blending them together. Whenever I find myself in a mood where I need to slow down and be present, this is the medium I gravitate towards.

Inspiration
I find the most inspiration in the day-to-day spaces I occupy, as well as those I see in old films and on old TV shows. I am fascinated by the passage of time, and the way sunlight casts shadows differently, depending on the time of day and season.
The act of creating a drawing, and of capturing this light, allows me to be fully present.

The act of creating a drawing, and of capturing this light, allows me to be fully present. The process becomes, for me, a meditation, and the work itself becomes a permanent marker for that particular space and time.
