I am a lifelong resident of the state of Michigan and studied at the University of Michigan; graduating with a BFA from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. My art reflects the love I feel for the great beauty of this state. Growing up I spent summers on Lake Charlevoix enjoying carefree days that became inspiration through my connection to the lakes, forests, dunes, and charming towns that are uniquely ours. It became the impetus for moving here five years ago. I want to share my vision with like-minded people who recognize the importance of persevering and respecting the timeless beauty of this region.
