I am an award-winning artist and community art educator who has recently relocated to Ellenton, Florida, from the Columbus Ohio area. I have a Masters of Art Education from the University of Florida and a BFA from Columbus College of Art & Design. I enjoy creating works of art on commission, painting murals, creating large-scale chalk murals for street painting festivals, and teaching art remotely in my home studio as well as other venues and events. ​ Public art and community building have both been a huge passion of mine for the better part of my adult life. I enjoy collaborating with many different entities and organizations on projects and connecting people through the arts. I spearheaded many arts initiatives in my Ohio town over the past 16 years, including planning and coordinating a chalk art festival, leading art camps, and leading community arts events.
