About Me


I am a determined student, artist, ceramicist, and multi-sport athlete with a deep desire to share my passions and creative energy with the world. From a young age, I’ve been immersed in the world of art—drawn to its ability to express emotion, tell stories, and bring people together. Whether I’m painting vibrant scenes or shaping clay into meaningful forms, I find joy in the tactile and transformative nature of the creative process. The moment I pick up a brush or feel the grit of clay between my fingers, I’m reminded of the comfort, stability, and confidence that art has given me over the years.

Art is not just a hobby—it’s a source of grounding and self-discovery. It’s where I’ve learned to trust my instincts, embrace imperfection, and celebrate growth. Beyond the studio, I thrive in the outdoors, where nature fuels my creativity and sense of adventure. Whether I’m relaxing on a boat, hiking the trails with my dogs, or skiing through snow-covered mountains, I feel most alive when I’m connected to the world around me.

Through both art and athletics, I’ve learned the value of discipline, resilience, and joy. I believe that creation—whether through movement, color, or form—is a powerful way to connect with others and inspire change. My goal is to continue exploring, learning, and sharing the beauty I find in everyday moments, and to encourage others to do the same.
