I grew up surrounded by beautiful pieces of art, with four generations of accomplished artists in my family. My first lessons started at age four where I was taught how to draw perspective and horizons from my Grandmother, and I have been painting ever since. I continued my studies through college where I grew and evolved as an artist with a BFA from the University of Maryland. I continue to take many different types of art classes, several times a year. I love to learn about new media, techniques and get new ideas.
