Hello everyone!
I love to create paintings in oil and acrylic on canvas and putting my art on t-shirts and handbags.
My love of art started when I was 8 years old and has continued throughout the years.
In high school I studied Commercial arts and in college I studied Graphic design.
I have shared my love of art teaching elementary/middle school students in afterschool programs throughout Maryland.
I look forward to sharing my art on this beautiful platform.
