I am a classically trained artist and illustrator with a deep passion for the tactile qualities of art on paper. My artistic journey began with formal studies at the Art Students League of New York, the New York Academy of Art, and the School of Visual Arts. These institutions instilled in me a profound appreciation for traditional drawing and painting techniques, which continue to shape my creative practice today.
Specializing in figure and portrait drawing, my work is characterized by meticulous attention to form, line, and texture. I strive to capture the timeless beauty of the human figure while infusing each piece with a contemporary edge. My approach blends the precision of academic training with the freedom of personal expression, resulting in artworks that feel both grounded in tradition and uniquely modern.
When I’m not in the studio, I share my passion for art through teaching, offering classes that focus on foundational skills and the art of observation. Whether working on commissioned illustrations, preparing for exhibitions, or guiding students in the creative process, my goal is to celebrate the enduring power of paper as a medium and the infinite possibilities it offers.
