Background
I have been creating portrait art on a freelance basis for about a decade. I started drawing in high school, which is when I realized I had a knack for realistic drawings and portraiture. Although I did not choose to pursue art academically, I did continue my studies into college, taking life drawing classes at the University of Michigan
I have been creating portrait art on a freelance basis for about a decade. I started drawing in high school, which is when I realized I had a knack for realistic drawings and portraiture. Although I did not choose to pursue art academically, I did continue my studies into college, taking life drawing classes at the University of Michigan School of Art & Design to further develop my skills. Despite ultimately venturing into other professional endeavors, I have found myself continuously returning to my craft throughout the years - through commissions, gifts, and "just for fun".

Background
As of right now, I work strictly with pencil/colored pencil; usually Prismacolor (wax-based) and/or Caran d'Ache (oil-based). I am most comfortable with working in black & white and monochrome, but am venturing more and more into the world of color!

Inspiration
I draw my inspiration from the bond between people, and with their pets! My goal is always for my clients to receive their completed piece and instantly recognize their loved ones through my work. It truly brings me joy to not only place an important person or pet in someone's life onto paper, but to capture their spirit and personality as well.
