I’m a multidisciplinary artist based in Astoria, Queens. My background is in oil and acrylic painting, which I studied at the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art. After a hiatus during college and my 20’s, I re-discovered the art community at a paint n' sip class. I joined a regular cadence of oil painting classes, creating NYC street scenes and portraits inspired by old masters.
I’m a proponent of art for mental health, and love getting lost for hours in studio time. My inspirations are vintage palettes, rainy days and expressive eyes.
I recently fell in love with glass art, which I was exposed to at Shiny Sparkle Labs. I particularly enjoy glass fusing and imagery. The personalities of my cats are behind my glass series.
I’m curious about all mediums and spend many weekends exploring NYC’s art and craft classes. I mostly create at studios around the city, snapshots of which you can find below.
