I began drawing and painting with my mother while I was still in the single digits of my existence. I studied Architecture at the University of Florida but ended up working in computer technologies for the better part of my professional life, 12 years of which was spent as a graphic designer and marketing manager for a European Linen retailer.
In late 2018 I decided to leave the conventional workforce behind and pursue my want to create. I still enjoy contract web and graphic design but, painting and drawing are my heart’s desire. I am a member of the Art League of Jacksonville, the Vice President of the Jacksonville Artists Guild, and the Vice President of the Art Center Cooperative, Inc.
I am a 2-D Artist who works primarily with acrylic on canvas. I also use a variety of mixed media. My current works depict Jacksonville and Florida as a whole. My paintings are influenced by the architecture, people, landscape, and industry of my city and state. My bright illustrative style invites an emotional connection to a time and place. I enjoy the combination of bright acrylic colors, washes, charcoal and ink. I am currently working on a Series titled, “Vintage Florida” which was inspired by a diner placemat depiction of Florida.
