My Beginnings

I have had a creative spark since before I can remember. Growing up competing in Destination Imagination for over 10 years, I learned to find creative solutions instead of the easiest ones. Having a large presence in any situation, my performative attitude thrived as I did competitive improv and musical theatre throughout middle and high school. Not willing to give up my creative endeavors, I started my college career double majoring in Marine Science and Interdisciplinary Arts, wanting to eventually combine my knowledge into scientific art. After realizing art was my true passion, I made the hard decision to drop my science major at the end of my junior year in order to focus on my art, incorporating the related classes into my art degree and continuing to study the sciences in my free time.

My Favorite Works

What brings me the most joy is when my work brings others joy. I strive to make people happy, even if just for a moment, in the craziness of life. I love seeing viewers smile or laugh or show their pleasure in whatever way they can. Having the knowledge that my work has made an impact on someone motivates me to continue creating.

Where I Am Today

Currently back in St. Petersburg, FL, I am continuing my work mostly through printmaking and graphic design. I am working towards creating enough art to start doing markets, with a goal of Fall 2025. In addition, I have been working on my writing, with a children’s book on the way. In my free time, I also continue to host Bob Ross events occasionally.
