Hello! I am a Fine Artist and Illustrator based in the United States.
Through vibrant watercolor paintings, I bring historical figures and ancient stories to life, inviting viewers to see the past through a fresh, modern lens. Combining stylized realism with a deep appreciation for myth, folklore, and history, my work seeks to preserve the beauty of the past while making it accessible and relevant today.
After five years of teaching foundation art courses at a community college and two years as a freelance graphic designer, I now work as an art coordinator, managing tight production schedules, helping artists prepare their work for print.
When I’m not painting or working, you’ll usually find me reading, antiquing, or watching old Hollywood films.
