I have always loved creating things and making art. I grew up in a family of artists and I was no exception. I explored my ability in college where I studied Studio Art at the University of Iowa. I delved into everything from sketching, painting, sculpture, art history and digital design. I then went on to get my masters degree in Architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I currently work as a licensed Architect at a large firm downtown Chicago.

I still find time to sharpen my drawing and painting skills among other local artists at the Palette & Chisel Academy of Art in the Gold Coast of Chicago. I still have the urge to fulfill my need of creating on the side for friends and family, so I've decided to do something about it!

I love doing custom paintings that have a special meaning to those receiving it. My shop contains custom pet portrait paintings, custom home portrait paintings, personalized family trees and some of my original art prints.
