My passion is art education and I love sharing my passion with others! I am also currently a practicing gallery artist, freelance illustrator, muralist and photographer, as well as passionate art educator. I am from St.Louis, MO and am from a creative family. My fashion designer mom and illustrator brother along with my high school art teacher inspired me to master all forms of art media growing up which led me to become a teacher.

I have 10 years of teaching experience under my belt instructing all age levels from K-12, and I have completed my Masters of Art Studio & Theory at Drury University in 2015. My personal artwork focuses on the molecular structure of the human body. My molecular drawings, paintings and multi-media pieces are all based on skeletal muscles and are truly unique. An artist's journey is not a destination, but the experiences collected along the road.
