I am an oil painter, I have a couple series of paintings going on at once, but all of my work is figurative, colorful, and inspired by childhood, cartoons and illustration.
I received my BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in painting and foundry. I worked in a bronze furniture foundry after school, and many of my oil paintings exhibit designer furniture. I also was born and raised in a toy store, so my paintings are full of a lively mix of color and playfulness, mixing dollhouse items with animals and candy inspired nature.
My work is fun and humorous to look at, child-friendly and easily accessible to all.
