an artist capturing memories, scenes, and emotions through vibrant colors

Based in West Reading, Pennsylvania, I am a painter who strongly believes that there is so much beauty in this world and I seek to learn, study, and capture as much beauty as I possibly can.

When I’m not painting at the studio, I am working as a Registered Nurse helping others heal and helping people at their most vulnerable time.
