I don’t create art that is simply meant to decorate the wall and look pretty.

I create for human connection, for memory, for posterity.

My favorite work finds its origins in candid moments, perhaps sometimes missed or overlooked in our busy world. Whether it involves actual human portraiture or animals or objects, I yearn to capture the beauty or the raw truth in the everyday.

From painting, to illustration, to sketching in courtrooms, I am drawn to authentic moments that we cannot fake, that do not dwell in dreams of perfectionism.

I believe art has the power to make people feel seen in all of their flawed and glorious humanity.

Currently based in Pittsburgh, I seek to continously build my creative practice blending observation, honesty, vulnerability, and imagination into work that feels like it lives and breathes in color on the page or canvas.
