I have been making art since age 4 and it feeds my soul! I work in many different mediums: Clay Sculpture, Beaded Jewelry, Costume Headpieces, Dog Portraits, Body Paint. I do commission work for costumes, dog portraits, jewelry & sculpture.
Originally from Cecil County, I moved to Salisbury, MD at various times since 1993, graduating from Lasell College and Salisbury University. I am a freelance artist who predominantly works in pastel to create portraits and landscapes. My inspiration comes from artists such as Rembrandt and Monet. The type of work I am known for is stylized realism.
I am an active resident of Baltimore City currently working with several, nonprofit organizations to lead art workshops and classes with young people. I am a visual artist and advocate. I am deeply passionate and supportive of Baltimore's DIY music scene. While I am very excited to begin bringing my community practice into that space, I am currently finishing my MFA in Community Arts at MICA, and looking forward to opportunities to showcase my personal art practice which is multidisciplinary.
Born in Washington, D.C. watching the city transition I had to find options to stay out of trouble. I always expressed an interest in art and sports. I couldn't draw at all I only was drawing stick figures and one day at the library I found a book on how to draw cartoons. I learned and developed my own vision of cartoons on paper then clothing. Wanting to improve on this blessing. I began to work with different medians such as sand, glass, beads, acrylics, foam to create puppets, beautiful fun canvas art.
