Adolescence: A Changing Landscape
Work With Me
Art has always been about connection for me. Whether we’re working together one-on-one in the studio or online, or sharing a creative experience at your event, my goal is to create meaningful moments that inspire, encourage, and bring people closer to the creative process.
Book Me for Events
Transform your event into a living work of art. I create original paintings live during gallery openings, fundraisers, corporate events, private celebrations, and community gatherings, allowing guests to witness the artwork evolve throughout the experience. I can also incorporate storytelling, conversation, and interactive moments that invite guests to engage with the creative process and become part of the experience itself.
1:1 Mentorship
Every artist reaches moments when they need another pair of experienced eyes. My one-on-one mentorship sessions are designed to help you strengthen both the technical and conceptual aspects of your work while developing your unique artistic voice. Together, we’ll explore your challenges, refine your ideas, and create a personalized path forward with thoughtful, honest feedback.
