Professional Summary

I’m a passionate and emerging artist deeply rooted in realism and representational art. My work often reflects the emotional connections between people, nature, and memory, infused with tenderness and intention. Currently pursuing my BFA in Painting and Drawing with a minor in Sculpture at LCAD, I’ve also been expanding into ceramics—creating heartfelt, functional pieces that integrate art into everyday life.
