Hi!

I'm a lifelong Floridian, born and raised in Dunedin into a family of artists. My passion lies in painting and teaching, and I'm fortunate to share that passion through my work as a studio artist, an instructor at SPC and the Dunedin Fine Art Center, and an artist in residence at Moffitt Cancer Center.

I earned my BFA from the School of Visual Art and my MA in Arts in Medicine from the University of Florida, equipping me to bring the healing power of art into healthcare settings. I'm also deeply committed to community engagement, working with adults with disabilities through the Just Imagine Program at the DFAC and co-founding Greenwood Grove, a non-profit focused on creative self-care.

I believe that creating is our first language and it’s a primitive ritual that keeps us connected to humanity, ourselves, and pushes civilization forward. When I'm not in the studio or classroom, you can usually find me exploring the beautiful Florida coast.
