I am a 26-year-old painter from White Plains, NY, holding a dual bachelor’s degree in Art and Psychology from Ithaca College. My journey into painting began during my junior year of high school, marking a pivotal shift in my creative path. Specializing in oil painting, I explore themes of self-discovery, human connection, and the transformative power found in embracing life’s challenges.
Deeply committed to social change, my work seeks to reshape narratives of struggle through emotionally charged pieces that encourage reflection and resilience. Influenced by the loss of my mother to cancer at a young age, my paintings are rooted in a vibrant and honest exploration of emotion. Her bold and expressive approach to art continues to shape how I capture the interconnectedness of human experience.
Alongside my artistic practice, I work as a licensed real estate salesperson in Ithaca, NY, where I am equally passionate about helping people find spaces that foster growth, comfort, and a sense of belonging. This work parallels my art, as both are centered on connection, storytelling, and creating environments where people feel seen and understood.
Each piece I create acts as a medium to rewrite narratives of hardship, embracing both beauty and struggle while offering a space for reflection, connection, and shared human experience.
