I am a self taught artist since 2020. I started my art career during the pandemic because I needed an outlet for what was going on. Animals and people are my main studies and I primary use charcoal as my medium.
Driven by a desire to understand the world through fantastical interpretations, my art captures fleeting moments and the tension between presence and absence. Expressed through bold color and subtle expressions, my oil paintings depict Neoclassical, Hellenistic and contemporary figures suspended between eras, reflecting society’s attraction to escapism and idealized fantasy.

I am a writer, having been published in mostly collegiate magazines since 1983. I earned a Master of Science in Journalism degree from Roosevelt University in Chicago, and completed an editing summer course at the University of Chicago Graham School. I have always been excited about writing; first as an elementary school student creating poetry, as a teenager writing about young romance and social behavior, and then as an adult writing magazine articles about college careers.
