About

​

I am an artist, musician, and educator who has always loved to create. Whether through painting, collage, songwriting, or teaching, I am drawn to the process of transforming ideas into experiences that inspire curiosity, connection, and reflection.

​

Although my creative career has been previously expressed through music, visual art has always been an equally important part of my life. I earned my undergraduate degree in Art History, and alongside years of songwriting, performing, and teaching, I have continued to paint, experiment, and develop my own visual language. Working primarily in acrylic paint and collage, I combine original painting, found imagery, and layered textures to create compositions that blur the boundaries between painting and photography, memory and imagination. 

​

As a singer-songwriter, I have released original music, performed throughout New York City, and had songs licensed for film and television. ​As an educator with master's degrees in Elementary Education and Music Education, I have spent my career nurturing creativity in children. I conducted original research on the social-emotional effects of songwriting in elementary education, which was published in a SAGE journal. That same spirit of curiosity and exploration continues to inform everything I create.
