I was the toddler who wrote all over the walls with crayons, now over 30 years later I am still focusing on my passion and creativity. I am constantly inspired by nature, animals, people and the beautiful city of Chicago, I am currently working on a series of cute animals that focus on color, texture and pure joy. Through my paintings I aim to create art that feels alive, joyful, and full of expression.

I am so grateful that I can share my passion and artistic skills not only in my own personal artwork but with the next generation of artists. I am currently on my fifth year of teaching art to 175 amazing students in Kindergarten to 8th grade at an award winning school in Chicago.

Currently I have an art studio in the Cornelia Arts Building in Chicago. I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many talented artists and be a part of the art community.
