I have been creating art my whole life. It is an integral part of who I am. I need to create art to maintain my balance, equilibrium, and center. I become discontent if I am not creating. My art focuses on traditional subject matter, primarily landscapes and portraits in oil on canvas. I paint what I respond to on a visceral level. My style is impressionistic, as I strive to capture the essence and feel of the places and people that surround me. I earned a bachelor's degree in fine art with a concentration in painting from Florida Atlantic University in 2001. I also studied under instructors of Ringling School of Art and Design, and participated in life drawing studios at Lighthouse ArtCenter. My art has been exhibited at numerous venues and is in private collections throughout the United States
