For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for art. All I have ever wanted to do is create things! While growing up in Ocean County, NJ, my love for the ocean and the beach has definitely driven my subject of artwork. I remember sitting in class in Middle School and High School sketching waves at the top of my notebooks. I earned a degree in Art Education at The College of New Jersey. For my first four years out of college, I taught elementary/middle school art and I used my summers,as I always did, to invest myself into my own artwork. About five years ago, I left my home in NJ to take my paints down to Key West, FL, where I decided to finally take the leap in 2020 to quit teaching and become a full time artist. In June 2022, I relocated to San Diego, CA. where I continue to pursue this passion of mine. I am extremely appreciative of my opportunities & where I am today!
