About ME

I earned my BFA degree after completing studies in Fine Art at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Florida; and the Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design in Los Angeles, California. During my academic training, I had the privilege of studying under several influential artists, including Deborah Butterfield, Will Weston, and David Willardson.

Following my formal education, I have produced numerous commissioned works, including large-scale portraits, landscapes, murals, and other paintings. My work has been exhibited in fine art galleries across the United States, and I have received multiple awards and recognitions. These honors include the Bobbi Mastrangelo Award for HERstory at the Cornell Art Museum in Delray Beach, Florida; the Boca Raton Museum of Art Artists’ Guild Award; an international award for Most Intriguing Imagery from the Agora Gallery in New York City for a series addressing homelessness; the award for Most Effective Use of Mixed Media from the Cypress Gallery in Los Angeles, California; and Best Imagery from the Off Broadway Gallery in Indianapolis, Indiana. Additionally, I was nominated to participate in the exhibition Whispers to Shouts: Indiana Women Who Create, held at the Indiana State Museum.
