About

Welcome to my studio! 

I am a passionate artist who is continuously inspired by my environment, the people in my life and the path I have led. I love exploring new mediums, styles and ways of creating through this vehicle of self-expression. I am humbled by every piece I make, knowing I have learned something new, every time. 

Currently, I offer a variety of original paintings, drawings, high-quality prints and greeting cards. I work out of my studio at S.P.A.C.E Gallery on Pine Street in Burlington, VT. You can purchase my work online, at my personal studio or at Frog Hollow, right in the heart of Burlington. 

I do commission work for interior designers, residences, businesses and more- from large landscape paintings to stunning murals. 

When I am not creating at my studio, I am teaching! I am a passionate Art Educator and teach painting and drawing for ages 16+!
