In the studio: Tues: 12-6, Fri: 10-2

My favorite part of the artistic process is the study, practicing and learning the subject to gain a better understanding of things I enjoy. Through the tools and knowledge of classical artists, I focus on the fundamentals of light, form, and composition to create portraits and still-lives to try capturing the emotion of the space they occupy.

Graphite is my favorite medium for expressing the values and contours of a subject with precision while watercolor is more free flowing and purposeful with the range of color it can achieve. My other hobbies include making pop art (I love cartoons, music, and 90s culture) and fashion design. I am obsessed with streetwear and watching all things sports, and have a small collection of vintage sports memorabilia to show for it!
