Rooted in a lifelong curiosity and deep connection to my surroundings, my artistic journey began in New York where I earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Fine Arts with a concentration in painting and drawing, along with a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership. My journey has guided my artwork towards a reflective tour of experiences and observations that I translate into visual form. I am drawn to the beauty and complexity of nature, the human form, and the interplay of color. Through my art, I strive to capture these elements and create a sense of connection and understanding with my audience.
