“In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can inspire” 
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Born Into Art

Art has been a part of my life from before I can remember. With a grandmother who could draw the famed faces of old Hollywood from memory and a mother who is as versatile with a canvas as an entire theater production, my lineage of art cannot be denied. You could say that I was destined to do this.

As you browse my gallery you will notice the theme of dance throughout my work.  I trained as a dancer from the time I was little and had the great fortune of training and dancing as a professional dancer for only a brief but splendid time in my life.  Dance was my calling but I learned that art was marked as my destiny. This did not diminish my passion or my love for dance. Therefore, the movement and story of dance appears in a great deal of my work and will perhaps remain as a leading inspiration for me as long as I'm able to create art.

I hope you are moved and quite inspired by my work here.  Enjoy!
