Artist Bio
I have been painting since I could hold a paintbrush. As I child, I first studied at the League of Reston Artists in Reston, Virginia with Lassie Corbett. As I got older, I started training at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia taking classes in figure drawing, oil painting, cartooning, and acrylic painting.
I continued to create paintings and drawings through my teenage years, and eventually began designing tattoos, album covers, custom t-shirts, and painting commissioned portraits. After college, I directed most of my artistic efforts to marketing and web design for private medical practices as I myself became a medical provider for almost 20 years.
Now, I have decided to focus on abstract painting and train at the Delaplaine Center for the Arts in Frederick, Maryland with Ed Ramsburg. I have exhibited at the TAG gallery and the Delaplaine gallery here in Maryland and participate regularly in art fairs and local vendor shows. I also continue to do commissioned work, both abstract and representational.
​
The practice of painting has truly been a healing force and conduit of peace in my life. My art work regularly illuminates corners of my soul that I have never visited before.
May my paintings provide you with similar illumination and self-discovery - and even invite you to transcendence.

Artist Statement
I create paintings that blend depth with vivid hues. With a background in holistic psychiatry, my practice is grounded in the belief that art can be both a mirror and a catalyst for healing. I work primarily in acrylic and mixed media, and tend to communicate themes of resilience, emergence, and the glow of spiritual insight.
​
My dual path as a healthcare professional and visual artist allows me to attend to both mind and spirit—inviting my viewers to slow down and reflect on the lights that emerge throughout their own soulful journeys.
