Statement: My art practice is a meditative process of noticing, documenting and recreating my daily views through playful media. Imagery often includes the neighborhood I live in, the colorful changing seasons and loved ones at rest or play. By painting these everyday scenes, I am able to slow down to see the holiness within them and learn from the tenuousness of life. Through a process of documentation and research, I create collections of art that share stories of the world around me. When others view my work, they often experience that same connection to their surroundings. In the end, we become more interconnected and more appreciative of what we often take for granted.

Bio: I grew up on the green hills of Southeastern Pennsylvania. My earliest memories are of playing in the sun with my siblings - chasing each other through labyrinths of trees. We regularly attended the Brandywine River Museum, "home of the Wyeths" and I lived among realistic depictions of my county by an American great, Andrew Wyeth. In 2017, I received a Bachelor of Arts in both Studio Art and Art Education from Gordon College in Beverly Massachusetts. Since then, I have taught art in various settings and developed my personal art practice. Today, I make art and teach middle school art in Alexandria, Virginia.
