“I paint from a long, lived visual practice — rooted in design, observation, and the natural world. My work is about slowing down, looking closely, and creating images meant to be lived with over time.”

A little about me…

I’m a fine artist living in south-central Pennsylvania with a focus on oil painting. My work celebrates joy, meaning, and the quiet stories found in nature.

I come from a lifelong visual practice shaped by decades of working as a graphic designer, which sharpened my eye for composition, structure, and visual harmony.

Each painting is a direct conversation with my subject, grounded in quiet observation of the garden, natural cycles, and forms that carry meaning beyond decoration. Flowers, bones, and quiet objects become ways of reflecting on time, fragility, and renewal—a reminder that nature gifts us beauty in the smallest of moments.
