Since childhood, I've been drawing flowers, rabbits, dogs, and birds, and I continue to enjoy making work about the beautiful colors and details found in nature. I'm an artist, naturalist, storyteller, and songwriter.
I have a BFA in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design, a Masters in Education from Arcadia University, and a certificate in Botanical Illustration from the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburg. I'm currently teaching high school painting and photography, and I'm working on my first picture book.
Writing and playing music has been a part of my life since I was very young. I release new folk and country music when songs come to me, and I find joy in co-writing with friends.
I love coffee, dogs, yoga, and running around taking photos. I have a Brittany spaniel named Lyra and I enjoy gardening and growing flowers with my family.
Thanks for visiting!
