Versatile abilities applied in practice - in a variety of aesthetic styles from realistic to whimsical,
I would be honored to serve as your artist on your next creative endeavor.

Visual communication can sometimes convey a message more powerful than words.
Let nature, traditional & modern art combine in harmony, through meticulous technique.
A timeless keepsake, a memento commemorating a special person, occasion, or feeling. Sometimes objects hold the curious power of reminiscence, recalling a moment in time.
From hand drawn pyrography artworks, to full color mixed media (including acrylics, watercolor, colored pencil, markers, mica pigments, inks & more).
As well as creating with epoxy - for multiple applications, such as a glossy finish on certain wood projects, to creating real botanical home decor.
Mindful gifting, fashioned with care.
Employing sustainable practice always; when foraging natural materials for encasing within epoxy (paperweight, drink coasters, etc). Less than 10% of any plant is harvested to encourage healthy regrowth.
By selectively harvesting materials in a mindful & purposeful way, & making use of things that might otherwise be thrown away.
Many of my wood pieces come from naturally fallen, or repurposed wood. Other pieces have been sourced from trusted family businesses; some NY local, as well as other small businesses across the nation.
