My earliest memories in childhood involve drawing and playing with color. From an early age, I fervently practiced and developed my love of replicating real life on a two-dimensional surface. My work has been awarded at a national level through the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards: a gold medal, American Vision nomination, and several gold and silver keys. I studied at Herron School of Art and Design Indianapolis and then completed a marketing degree at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business.

I create portraits that capture the likeness and essence of beloved pets. Our pets become essential members of our family that enrich our lives and my portraits are a representation of that love. I also love playing with the connections made by shared passions in gaming and pop culture. This appears in my art as subtle references to iconic fandoms like Doctor Who, Arkham Horror, Harry Potter and more.
