art is my passion, my life
I’ve known I wanted to be an artist from the time I was small. My moms side of the family are very into arts and crafts and I was of course inspired by the late, great Bob Ross.
When it came time for college, art school seemed like the obvious choice. I attended Pennsylvania College of Art & Design where I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with concentration in graphic design.
Soon after I created my first wedding invitation suite and I was in love. At that time I also started my first real job designing for a newspaper.
In my free time I created invitations and paper goods for family and friends, I knew this was my passion and where I hoped to end up.
After eight years at the paper I walked out the door and never looked back. Now I spend my time working with amazing clients out of my home office alongside two of the cutest “coworkers” and an amazing “assistant”.
