About the Artist
Professional information
I’m a Pennsylvania-based artist specializing in live wedding painting with a strong foundation in fine art. I earned my degree in Illustration from the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design, where I was honored with 2nd place in the Senior Class Exhibit.
My creative journey blends the timeless beauty of traditional art with the innovative possibilities of the digital world. Using a 24-inch pen display and the award-winning Rebelle painting software, I replicate the fluidity of watercolor, the richness of oil paint, and the texture of mixed media, all on a digital canvas.
My work is rooted in figurative and portrait art, where I explore the emotional and aesthetic power of light, shadow, and color on the human form. Whether I’m capturing a couple’s first dance or painting a beloved pet, my goal is always the same: to preserve a moment of beauty with warmth, detail, and soul.
In every live painting, I aim to create more than a picture—I aim to create a keepsake that tells a story and evokes lasting emotion.

Artist Statement
My subject matter is nature and wildlife, whether it is a traditional landscape or a lioness painting. I use traditional materials, pastels and watercolors blended on pastelmat, to captivate my audience. — making marks on paper in just the right value, in just the right color, in just the right hue, in just the right place, at just the right time to bring animals people, and nature to life.
