I am a professional Textile Designer by trade working for Sharon Young Inc in Dallas. I paint and draw on the weekends working in watercolor and pastels. My painting technique reflects my textile designs in watercolor, gouache, and soft pastel designs. My style weaves together design elements of impressionism and Realism. My love for nature shines through in my paintings. I belong to the En-Plein air society of McKinney and enjoy painting and drawing from life. I graduated college from F.I.T. (The Fashion Institute of Technology) in NYC and The Art Students League in NYC.
