I bond with humanity by painting faces. I try to capture emotion in a moment. I am fascinated by what others can express with only a glance: Bitterness, Joy, Disgust, Devotion. Showing honesty in my work is my primary goal. The Great Secret: We are all shattered. My current series aims to reveal and is called: "Shattered Humanity". 

I have a persistent interest in what we are composed of. As a direct result, I also work as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst + Corporate Director for NeuroHealth Solutions. I work with little ones with autism, teaching developmental milestones and challenging behavior reduction. As a Behavior Analyst, I have spent the last 14 years studying emotion. Body language, tells, and subtle physicalities are my specialties.

A songwriter + banjo player, I reside in the Pinecraft Amish Village in Sarasota, Florida. I live on a mini-farm with my Himalayan kitten, pit bull, and pig. I hold a Master of Arts from Prescott College. I draw inspiration from my travels to 21 countries, including India, Morocco, and Peru, and the rare, unique muses I encounter.
