I hold a BFA in Sculpture and Photography from SAIC and a BA in Interior Design from RCOD. Over the years, my creative journey has evolved through various mediums, from pastel and acrylic painting to metalsmithing—where everything finally clicked. My passion for texture, color, proportion, and three-dimensionality all came together, forming a dynamic, ever-evolving artistic language. Recently, I’ve added lapidary to the mix, cutting and shaping my own cabochons to bring even more depth to my work.

I live in the beautiful Fox River Valley on nearly an acre of land, surrounded by three ponds and twelve flourishing gardens. Every day feels like an adventure, sharing space with owls, songbirds, coyotes, foxes, deer, and the occasional possum. It’s a far cry from my South Side Chicago upbringing, but I wouldn’t have it any other way—I love every moment of this wild, nature-filled lifestyle.
