"Lowering into the Pool , 2017" Painting

I am a dedicated painter and artist with a lifelong passion for creating and sharing my knowledge. Having drawn and painted since childhood, I earned a Master’s degree in Painting at age 23 and also hold a teaching degree. My practice spans a wide range of subjects and techniques — from expressive landscapes and figurative work to farmyard animals, florals, and clay. I work on multiple pieces simultaneously, allowing each to reflect my mood and creative energy. Whether exploring loose, fluid strokes or tighter, more detailed compositions, my approach is driven by curiosity, balance, and passion. Art is my full-time profession. I paint nearly every day, exhibit regularly, and manage my own studio practice, including commissions, classes, and sales. Growing up near Amish farms in Lancaster, PA, has recently inspired a joyful return to farmyard subjects, bringing my artistic journey full circle. I am grateful for the collectors who support my work and enable me to sustain a creative life with my family. My goal is not to be known for a single style, but for the authentic variety and spirit that defines my art.
