My story
Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I was always drawing, painting, and creating—anything within reach became inspiration. My mother, an artist herself, recognized my passion early on and enrolled me in Medallion Art School while I was still in grade school. It was there that I began building a strong foundation in technique and creativity.
In middle and high school, I had the incredible fortune of learning from a dedicated teacher who became a true mentor. He encouraged me, pushed me to grow, and helped shape the artist I am today. During those years, I also began selling my work, and I haven’t stopped since.
I went on to study at Clark College and later at Washington State University, where I earned a degree in Humanities with a concentration in Fine Arts. My love for art only deepened during this time, as I explored new ideas, styles, and mediums.
Later, while working at a retirement community, I had the opportunity to teach advanced acrylic painting classes. Sharing my knowledge with others brought a renewed energy to my own creative practice and reminded me why I fell in love with art in the first place.
Today, I continue to create and sell original artwork that reflects a lifelong journey of passion, learning, and expression.
