My passion for art began over 30 years ago as a college student in New Jersey. I discovered my talents through drawing and painting classes and continued after college.

 

 

I have always enjoyed the use of a limited palette to create a harmony of colors. My impressionist techniques have allowed me to creatively express my vision of a new and exciting world through my eyes.

 

 

Some of my favorite inspirations come from artists such as Monet, Renoir, and Robert Henri. It empowered me to look at life through a painter’s eyes and appreciate the intimate moments I document in my art, home, and travels. It also taught me that art is a noble profession worth pursuing. My style complements and honors the older history while pushing the boundaries of a new world that needs more color and inspiration.

 

 

In early 2024, I studied portraiture at the Angel Academy of Art in Florence, Italy. I have learned how to combine my love for realism and impressionism with my paintings. It was my lifelong dream to study in an incredible atelier learning timeless masters’ techniques. I enjoyed the strong teachings of John Angel and other artists to help me get to that next level I’ve been craving for.

 

 

Travel became my other inspiration. Art has accompanied my ambitions throughout the years to amazing places such as Taiwan, Italy, and New Mexico, which I call home. I love being part of a place rich in history and color. It has also inspired my art and soul. I work full-time as an art vendor in the Santa Fe Plaza, creating and selling my art and doing portrait commissions.

 

 

My future ambitions include possible gallery representation and creating new and exciting portrait commissions. I want to use all the cultural influences and ancient painting techniques I’ve learned so far in my colorful life. I would also love to learn how to sell my work online around the world.

 

 

The internet has exciting possibilities to connect more visitors and clients with my work and enhance the emotional connection between art and collectors. Most of all, I look forward to growing older and better as an artist and person. I hope to inspire others who enjoy my work.
