I grew up in a small hamlet in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York, surrounded by the forest, books, and musical instruments. I moved to New Jersey to be a designer after graduating with an illustration degree from RIT. I’ve spent my career thus far working for manufacturers, designing products like stationery, gift packaging, and dinnerware. I’m delighted to layer my years of experience with my passion for painting and illustrating. When I’m not creating art for the marketplace, I’m in my studio producing large paintings on canvas or at the yoga studio practicing and teaching yoga. My work is driven by an enthusiasm for life itself: nature, beautiful cites, eye-catching textures, and all the little moments that make us human.
