Bio
My work explores the intricate dance between urban environments and nature, capturing their evolution through both painting and photography. Using a vibrant palette, dynamic compositions, and blacklight-reactive paints, I create art that tells two stories—one under natural light and another in the dark—highlighting the tension and harmony between human-made structures and the natural world.
My photography complements this vision, capturing art, music, architectural structures, and landscapes with an eye for storytelling and interconnected themes. Together, these mediums reflect the beauty and complexity of cityscapes and organic landscapes. My creative journey has been shaped by a deep connection to the entertainment industry, which inspires both the content and presentation of my work. From operating a lighting board for off-Broadway productions at age 11 to managing artists full-time since 2000, these experiences have informed my use of light, texture, and dynamic visuals. I studied architecture and modern literature in Columbus, Ohio, and later earned a bachelor's degree in Multimedia and Graphic Design from DeVry University, graduating at the top of my class.
I am completing my MFA in Fine Art at Full Sail University, set to graduate in 2025. After overcoming an 18-year creative block at age 50, I rediscovered painting as a form of self-therapy, while my photography remains a vital tool for capturing the beauty of interconnected worlds. Through immersive, multilayered artistic experiences, I strive to celebrate the unity within contrast and inspire others to see the extraordinary in both urban and natural realms.
