My Story

At the young age of six, my elementary school Art Teacher noticed potential in me as an Artist. As the only Hard of Hearing student at my school, I knew art would give me a way to express myself and the potential to succeed in life.

In 1998, I began majoring in Computer Science, Web Programming to be exact, at Salem Community College. After a few years, I transffered to Rowan University and changed my major to Graphic Design. At Rowan, I first fell in love with using the mediums, Conte Crayons and Pen & Ink during my Figure Drawing and Illustration classes. Thanks to my professors and my mentor for bolstering my courage to become a professional Artist & Graphic Designer.

I graduated from Rowan University with a Bachelor of Arts degree and later Wilmington University with a Master of Science degree in Informational Systems Technologies in Internet & Web Design.

Artist's Statement

Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, and Artemisia Gentileschi are three of the most inspirational artists that I adore. Because of them, I have profound love for nature, landscape, color, abstract, and still life works. As an Artist, my styles are expressive and abstract. My favorite mediums include Pen & Ink and Conte Crayons. As an Artist, it is always peaceful and joyful to create a masterpiece with your own hands. I love Art!

As a Graphic Designer, I design Logos, Stationery, Booklets, etc. My goal as a Graphic Designer is to encourage and inspire business owners to establish a brand idenity. As a person with hearing loss, Art gives me the confidence to believe in myself. I convey my own motto,"Art is a Way of Life."
