Born and raised amid the awe-inspiring beauty of Niagara Falls, NY, I discovered my passion for art early on. Graduating from the Fine Arts program at Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, NY, instilled in me a love for creative expression.

 

In my late twenties, I found myself in Toronto, Ontario, where I became a proud parent to a wonderful daughter. This bustling city became the canvas where my story really started.

 

Professionally, I found myself immersed in the world of finance, earning my CPA designation and dedicating countless hours to spreadsheets and budgets. However, amidst the rigors of number crunching, the artist within me yearned to resurface.

 

The pandemic, despite its challenges, brought with it a silver lining. Seeking solace from the constant stress, I reignited my love affair with painting. Thus, emerged a dual identity: by day, an Accountant navigating the structured world of finance, and by night, an Artist pouring whimsy and delight onto canvases.

 

Though my journey in painting may be relatively young, my commitment is resolute – I aim to add nothing but beauty and love to this world through my art. Each stroke of color, each whimsical detail, carries a promise: to evoke joy and wonder in every viewer's heart.

 

Beyond the canvas, I intertwine stories with my larger pieces, inviting audiences to step into the worlds I create. Oh, how I wish I could inhabit these magical realms myself!

 

Join me on this artistic odyssey and let's journey together through the realms of whimsy and delight!
