RECOGNITION
As a visual artist, I work mostly in acrylics. I have been drawing and painting my whole life and knew that I wanted to be an artist by the time I was five years old. I wanted to make what I thought was a stable career out of my passion by studying Illustration at Savannah College of Art and Design. After earning my degree, however, I realized that painting was my true calling. I settled in the suburbs of Pittsburgh and began to paint images of the places and objects that have impacted me the most. I now focus on still life objects and foods that I have a great fondness for and nostalgic connection to. I find beauty in simple pleasures and I enjoy bringing them to life with striking light and contrast.
