I am a 23-year-old chemist and artist based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While I have always had a passion for the arts, I got my bachelor’s in chemistry at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. After graduating in 2023, I began working for a consulting firm as an environmental scientist. For the next two years I worked on various environmental disasters, including the wildfires in Maui and Los Angeles, the train derailment in Ohio, and an abandoned uranium mine in Arizona. Recently, I began working as an environmental consultant for a power generation company, specializing in air quality. I am extremely passionate about environmentalism and the sciences in general, which has translated into my very technical style of art.

Throughout my academic and professional career, I have made art whenever and wherever I can. I love portraits because it is an incredible feeling being able to bring emotion and life to someone’s face through a drawing, so that has always been my primary focus. While graphite is my preferred medium, I have been participating in chalk festivals since 2010, so chalk pastels will always have a special place in my heart.

Under the Gallery tab, you will find my full works of art, separated by the type of artwork. Once I have begun creating artwork for sale, all original works and prints that are available for purchase will be available for purchase directly through this site. I am not currently accepting commissions, but I will update this website and my social medias when that is open. Don’t forget to join my Newsletter for updates when pieces are available for purchase and for updates on festivals I will be participating in! Thank you for your support!
