"The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection." — Michelangelo

I believe art is an attempt to reflect the beauty of creation. Every painting is a small effort to capture something deeper: light, color, emotion, and the wonder found in the world around us.

My artistic journey began in childhood, privately mentored by my grandmother, a respected Beverly Hills artist whose work was exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum and collected internationally. I received extensive instruction all through my childhood and culminated in a university art degree and Congressional recognition for my work.

Today my work continues in that tradition, while also guiding the next generation. Teaching children to draw and paint is one of the most meaningful parts of my work; helping them discover the joy, confidence, and creativity that comes from making art with their own hands.
