I am an artist based in the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains. My work grows out of time spent hiking and observing the natural beauty around me--especially the flora and fauna of Appalachia--and takes form as detailed ink drawings on vellum. Having grown up along the Connecticut shoreline, I find my practice shaped by both environments: the mountains I now call home and the coastal landscapes I return to in memory. I am currently illustrating a series of Art Deco-inspired drawings for a book of original poems centered on the sea.

I keep an active sketchbook practice and create digital studies as a space for more playful, exploratory work. I also use animation as a storytelling medium, interweaving movement, style, and narrative. I hold a BFA in Illustration from Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts and a Master's in Teaching in Elementary Education from American University.
