My Work My work is is about what I see and feel. It is about the positioning of shape, color and textures. It is about creating visual joy. Sometimes I veer off from this direction but I always return to that desire to capture something more than what is in front of me. When I begin a painting, I think about each part of the scene I have chosen to paint and relive it in hyper detail. I consider the colors, shapes and placement of each stroke. Sometimes the composition is completed quickly and sometimes it is painstaking, but it is always a joyful journey. My photographs power my work. Having photography as a base allows me to collect ideas all the time. Sometimes I find other reference images, like the old films of Ocean City. In these instances I might recolor and crop the scene. I am not always limited to a physical canvas. I can paint anywhere. My art can stand alone as a commanding focal point or grouped together to further enhance the mood. As a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and creative whose work explores the emotional architecture of human experience, I move fluidly between traditional media, digital tools, and emerging technologies, I create layered, resonant pieces that invite viewers to slow down, look closely, and reconnect with their own inner narratives. I have a deep commitment to art and media literacy. Through workshops, writing, and community-centered teaching, learners of all ages get a chance to understand not just how images are made, but why they matter. I design transformative learning experiences that blend technical skill-building with emotional intelligence, encouraging students to trust their instincts, embrace imperfection, and cultivate a personal visual language. My work is informed by my background in communication, design, and creative entrepreneurship. I build accessible pathways into art-making, demystifying complex processes- from traditional painting techniques to 3D modeling workflows-so that beginners can feel capable, confident, and curious. Whether through intimate paintings, digital compositions, or hands-on instruction, my mission remains constant: to help people see more clearly-both the world around them and the one within.
