I'm an artist, educator, and creative professional based in the Buffalo, NY region. For more than 20 years, I have used art, design, and visual communication to help people connect, learn, and engage with the world around them. My work has included professional graphic design, fine art, museum exhibits, art instruction, and community-based creative programming.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with businesses, nonprofit organizations, and community groups to create meaningful visual experiences that inform, inspire, and bring people together. Whether designing a communication piece, developing an art workshop, or creating original artwork, I am drawn to projects that foster creativity, connection, and a sense of shared experience.

I earned my BFA in Graphic Design from Daemen College in 2003 and have held creative positions across New York State. In addition to my professional design work, I have taught art through private lessons, workshops, paint nights, and collaborative community programs serving children, teens, and adults.

Travel has been a constant source of inspiration throughout my work. Having lived and worked in New York City, traveled to Italy, and explored many regions of the United States, I am continually inspired by both the natural world and historical architecture. Through my artwork, I strive to capture unique perspectives through color, contrast, and composition, believing that seeing a subject from a new vantage point can evoke emotion, spark curiosity, and create meaningful connections.
