Thanks for visiting my page, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, and continue to enjoy living here. I have always created art of some form or another, but it has always been portrait drawing that has given me the greatest pleasure. My love for art led me to a Fine Arts degree in Studio Arts from Lindenwood University. Since then, I have worked hard for many years to build and develop my art skills. Besides portraits, I have spent several years painting on shoes, designing indoor murals, and exploring other forms of art.

My favorite part of the process is when I present a finished drawing or painting to a client and witness their joy upon seeing their home, pet or special person brought to life in art.

I am passionate about creating an accurate likeness that lets the subject’s personality shine through, which I think can make a portrait extra special and different from a photograph. I work with traditional and messy media including pastels, acrylic paint, watercolor and ink. I use only the finest artist-quality materials and methods to ensure your portrait will remain vibrant and preserved for years to come.
