ARTIST BIO
When I search my brain for earliest memories, I cannot remember a time in my life that I was not doodling, painting, sewing,?creating something.
In 1993, I graduated from Hussian School of Art in Philadelphia, PA. My full-time mural arts career began in 1996 while living in Southern California where I worked for several years. In 2000, I moved back to my home state of New Jersey where I continue to make my craft available to a host of clients in the area. Since 2016, I have resided in York, Pennsylvania commissioning murals and original paintings. I also own Naked Chick Art, a local artist collective, inside York Central Market.
Stemming from an unhappy and abusive relationship, I would escape to my happy place, the basement, to paint and try to forget the reality of my situation. Even after ending that relationship, I now always strive to "paint happy". My art is representative of my style and subject matter. My paintings primarily feature animals engaged and interacting in various ways. I try to paint a sweet story about the relationship between the critters in my painting or between the critter and the viewer. I want the viewer to appreciate the beauty and mood of animals and to smile. I feel that if looking at a whimsical bunny painting can stimulate a single person to smile or even giggle then it was worth the time to paint. I don't think art has to be moody, hard to read into or complicated to be relevant. Everyone can benefit from a smile.
