If you’ve ever heard the saying, “I don’t have a creative bone in my body”, well… that’s the total opposite of me. I bleed paint and sneeze glue! Maybe not literally, but you get the point. Art is how I process life and the world around me; how I communicate and how I medicate. And if I’m not making art, I’m probably off exploring somewhere. I have a passion for adventure and love being outdoors. This shines through in the work I create, often inspired by nature and made from ethically sourced, natural materials, such as driftwood. My whimsical creations tend to convey feelings of being in your ‘happy place’ or out in nature (if that’s not the same thing) and can often be found featured in galleries across the state. I enjoy spreading kindness and encouraging happiness; and what better way to do that than through art?!

I was born, raised and still reside in York County. I also have a love for and background in photography. In the past, I’ve worked as a freelance photographer, in a mall studio, and as a traveling school photographer. I’ve shot a little bit of everything and over time began to favor creative concepts and themed shoots. Now I focus on working with other creatives and entrepreneurs. I often make my own props and costumes used in photoshoots and content creation. I love helping others bring their visions to life! I also enjoy photographing nature, landmarks and interesting things I find while traveling. My photographs are sometimes featured in local galleries.
