I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and now live in Tennessee. I studied fashion design at the University of Alabama, with summer coursework at MIAD in Milwaukee, and FIT and Parsons in New York City. Over time, I felt a deeper calling toward fine art, where I could focus on drawing and painting as a way to express emotion, connection, and reverence.
My Jewish identity is a central part of who I am and the work I create. I believe in the idea of Tikkun Olam, the call to help repair the world, and I see art as one way I can participate in that. Through portraiture and illustration, I hope to create moments of beauty and meaning that help people feel seen, honored, and connected.
My style is expressive realism. I often work in charcoal, oil paint, or pastel, combining careful observation with loose, emotional mark-making. I paint people, animals, still lifes, and meaningful objects. I have a special love for dogs and am slowly expanding into other animals through study. I’m constantly learning and have grown a lot through taking workshops with artists I admire at Warehouse 521 in Nashville, where I also serve as a studio assistant when needed.
I am still growing as an artist, and I take that seriously. My work is rooted in love, intention, and the desire to help others bring something meaningful into their homes. Whether it’s a portrait of a beloved pet or an illustration tied to memory or faith, I hope to create something beautiful and lasting; something that reflects not just what you see, but what you feel.
