Greetings, and thank you for visiting my website! It is mainly meant to be a place where I can collect and keep track of most of my work, as I don’t use social media. Although I don’t sell my work directly through my site, inquiries about how to buy/commission certain pieces can be submitted via the Contact page and are always welcome.

Bio: I’m a Chicago artist who works in a wide range of media, including watercolor, gouache, acrylic, charcoal, and ink. I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, and though I have taken art classes at various times throughout my life, I consider myself to be mainly self-taught. After studying art for a year as a college student, I made the decision to pursue a career path not directly connected to the art world. However, finding time to consistently create and share new art has always been a priority for me.

Artist statement: My inspiration comes from a wide variety of sources: children’s books, folk art, cartoons, Chicago’s skyline.  I love using vibrant colors and intricate details in my work and have always enjoyed depicting animals and nature scenes; at the same time, I always allow myself the freedom to experiment and evolve my style and explore new subject matter and materials. Through my art, I enjoy creating fun, inviting, and/or intriguing little worlds that I hope appeal to viewers’ sense of imagination. I don’t typically create art with the intention of selling it, because I don’t want that to influence my style; however, I am always open to finding spaces where my style and expression are appreciated.

I believe that art can help us connect with people in a unique and special way, and that it should be accessible to everyone. Art really can improve our lives, inspire, and help heal us in so many different ways.
