Biography

My journey as an artist has evolved from a cherished hobby to a full-time passion and profession. While pursuing a career in the construction industry, I nurtured my artistic inclinations through at-home evening creation and art center classes. Notably during this artistic exploration, I had the privilege of working as an apprentice under the guidance of Karl Kuerner, renowned for his connection to the iconic Kuerner Farms in Chadds Ford, PA. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of showcasing my work throughout the Philadelphia Area including a solo exhibition in 2011 at the prestigious Darlington Arts Center in Glen Mills, PA.

With a growing desire to become an art teacher and a deeper commitment to my craft, I embarked on a more structured artistic education by enrolling in formal undergraduate classes at Montgomery County and Delaware County Community Colleges. Shortly thereafter, I began my journey in art education at Kutztown University.

My preferred medium of expression is colored pencils and graphite. My artistic creations embrace realism, spanning a diverse spectrum from evocative animal depictions to intricate architectural renderings and finely detailed abstract compositions. Additionally, as a former builder, I embrace the challenge of 3-dimensional art specifically Ceramics. The unpredictability and hands-on experience provide me with opportunities to plan, critically think, and problem solve stretching beyond what I thought possible.

As an artist, I’m always in search of fresh inspiration. I steadfastly resist categorization, as I believe in the boundless potential of my art. I desire to explore the ever-expansive realm of creativity, ensuring that my artistic journey remains open and my horizons continually broadened.
