My path as an artist has been guided by my love for the outdoors and the inspiration I find in its rhythm. From fishing trips and hiking adventures to scuba diving in Belize and Mexico, I channel the energy of these experiences into every piece. My years in Northern California, under the mentorship of impressionistic elders, further shaped my expressive plein-air style.

Now, back in Michigan, I find endless inspiration in its vibrant landscapes and tranquil beauty. Whether teaching painting classes or designing wearable art, my goal is to inspire a deeper appreciation for nature and its preservation.
