I began art lessons at an early age, taking figure drawing classes at community art centers. My teachers have been Frank Zucceralli and Michael Madigan, and I currently take lessons with Matiko Mamaladze. I have done a variety of commissioned pieces, primarily portraits, landscapes, and pet portraits hanging in private collections. I was also recruited to do some murals for QVC. I primarily paint in acrylics and sometimes pastel. I have also done works in oil.
