The majority of my education in the visual arts has been autodidactic--it has involved looking at artwork on the internet, studying random people's blogs that display their technical progress as they journey through formal arts education, and taking what I see and mixing it with my own life experiences and what I feel compelled to create. I created this site with the intention of joining the vast internet arts community and occasionally sharing what I am working on, so that individuals might learn from me as I have learned, and continue to learn, from others online. I hope to continue increasing my technical abilities and refining my artistic styles. These are exploratory pieces of the lifelong learning process. I wish I could mention all the artists that inspire me, but it would be an exhaustive list.

 

I have had a few gallery shows in the WNY area. I have done professional graphic note taking and graphic facilitation for multi-national NGOs, consulting meetings, and community planning meetings. I co-taught a graphic note taking class in graduate school. I had my first scientific figure published when I was 14 and have since had scientific illustration and figures published in peer reviewed and lay journals covering topics from molecular biology to artificial intelligence.

​

In the arts, aside from visual art, I enjoy writing and reading poetry, have been involved with theater, and MC-ed and directed my first event for local writers in Buffalo, NY when I was 18. I trained in classical ballet for fifteen years. Though I ceased training seriously over half a decade ago, my background in dance continues to influence the way I try to convey motion in art. When I'm not doing artsy things, I am likely working on something related to systems design, applied technology for good, UX/UI development, regenerative property planning, conservation, computational landscape architecture and GIS / cartography.

Thanks for checking out my site.
