decorator. artist. crafty soul.

Since I was old enough to pick up a pencil (literally) I’ve been drawing. With my amazing multi-talented grandfather (known and loved as Pop) providing me his invaluable self-taught knowledge and guidance, I grew up experimenting in many other mediums, including oil, water color, and acrylic paints, pastels, charcoal, acrylic and oil crayons, and even some basic wood-cutting and soldering. Through schooling, I also learned how to work with different clays and to throw, glaze, and fire pottery, having some of my work featured in shows and catalogues during high school.

Though I’ve dappled in a multitude of art genres the content of my work has almost always focused on realism, mostly involving animals, plants, and landscapes. Painting with oils has been a favorite medium since I was ten, when Pop gave me my first canvas and showed me how to create images using different brushes and knives. I quickly grew to love the beautiful textures oils produced and the smell of oil paint will always bring me back to sunny afternoons in Pop’s studio.

In college, my focus turned to textiles and interiors. I found my niche and true passion in the art world through Interior Decorating and Design. Specializing in high-end Residential Decorating, I am now equipped with a dynamic array of industry-related experience, an expertise in (and borderline obsession with) textiles and color application, and a passion for Mid-Century and minimalist furniture, architecture, and design. In addition to Interior Decorating I also design and hand-make hair fascinators and fashion accessories.
