Art and the Artist
About
Hello, welcome to my online art portfolio and print shop! I have been an artist my whole life, and always deep into my imagination since I could remember. My purpose became clear to me early on that I was meant to express myself to impact the world.
As an upstate New Yorker, I was raised in the Hudson Valley and attended higher education in the area as well. I have a Bachelor’s in Visual Arts and Creative Writing out of the State University of New York: New Paltz. My time in the art world has been minimal, though I’ve been featured in SUNY college galleries, New Paltz Main Street galleries, and various market events in Beacon, NY. Some of my writing has also been published in college magazines, such as the literary magazine in Kingston University in London, England.
My education truly began after college when I found my artistic voice throguh illustration.
Artist Statement
My work is a compilation of all art styles I admire. My painting/illustration subjects are stemmed from my inherent love towards nature, contemporary styles mixed together, feminine power, deep visual story telling, the mysteriousness and struggles of the human psyche, and illustrative fine art paintings. Every piece I do has a meaning, and cannot all be explicated in a bio. I get inspiration the most from living artists with influences in fine art, illustration, graphic novels movies, music, and design.
