I feel happiest while deep within the woods. My love for painting exists in the connection I experience to nature when exploring my surroundings and capturing the places that inspire me. Painting landscapes is a way for me to learn more about the world and myself.

My interest in art evolved throughout childhood and solidified when I lived in Vienna Austria during middle school. It was there I first gained my appreciation for the diverse array of visual beauty life has to offer. My artistic journey started after graduating from high school in NJ when I decided to attend the Rhode Island School of Art and Design. Although I learned much at RISD during my freshman year, I ultimately decided that art school was not for me. Since then, I have been painting while simultaneously discovering my goals as an artist. I will continue pushing my limits while finding the places that inspire me and connect to them through my art.
