Artist Statement on Material & Technique: "As an artist from Pittsburgh, PA, I specialize in imaginative, portrait, figurative work. My current favorite medium is oil paint. I enjoy exploring colors, composition and brush strokes to tell a story. This past 2023 I accepted my first Festival Award from TRAF 2023. In 2021 and 2022 I was accepted as an Emerging Artist and Emerging Artist II at the TRAF. You can find my latest painting series displayed at the PIT Airport titled "Feeling Good"."
