I was born in Arlington, VA and am an artist based in Alexandria, VA. Holding both an Associates of Fine Arts in Visual Arts from Northern Virginia Community College. And a Bachelor of Arts in Design Studies with a minor in Graphic and Media Design from Marymount University. 

My creative journey started when I was young child, I would put on guided drawing tutorials on the tv and follow along with the cartoonist, drawing on my giant paper pad.

While in high school, my love for art grew immensely due to the influence of my art teacher. This sparked the idea of being in the art field in general and having my own art business. I was unsure in what direction I can take my art business in. So I ended up exploring other career options such as psychology and law (spoiler, it didn’t work out).

While in community college, I continued to toggle with the idea of having my own art business. Yet, still unsure how to execute it, I redirected back to exploring other careers in art. While studying art education, I discovered I thrived well with consistent change of environment and flexibility in my career. Leading me to eventually change my major to Design Studies minoring in Graphic and Media Design because I personally felt it provided a sort of wiggle room.

After obtaining my undergraduate degree, I began working as an in-house artist at a custom stationery shop where I drew and painted venues, pets, and cocktails for wedding stationery. It was here, in an incidental manner. I learned more about the wedding industry, which lead to discovering live event painting. Everything had clicked for me, and the rest is history!

On my free time, I love to ride my bicycle or go to the gym. My favorite subjects to paint are characters from horror movies, some of my comfort movies are The Conjuring, The Nun, Annabelle, and Terrifier. I am lover of all things UK, and some comfort shows of mine are Spongebob, Gilmore Girls, House M.D., and Ted Lasso.
