About Me
I am a passionate artist and dedicated art teacher with over 30 years of experience inspiring creativity in others. My journey in the arts has taken many forms, but I specialize in murals that bring color, life, and storytelling to walls and public spaces.
As a lifelong educator, I’ve had the joy of teaching students of all ages, helping them discover their artistic voice and build confidence through self-expression. My teaching style blends technical skill-building with encouragement and exploration, creating a supportive environment where creativity can thrive.
In addition to mural work and year-round instruction, I offer engaging summer art classes designed to spark imagination and foster artistic growth. Whether you're a beginner or looking to deepen your skills, my classes are a great way to explore art in a fun, relaxed setting.
Thank you for visiting—let’s make something beautiful together!
Mural Art
PAST PROJECTS
This office in Southpoint celebrates the spirit of Pittsburgh through bold, monochromatic artwork that captures the city's iconic figures, landmarks, neighborhoods, and industrial heritage. Each mural is crafted in a hard-edge style, using clean lines and high-contrast tones to create striking visual impact. From steel bridges to skyline silhouettes, these pieces bring local pride to life while maintaining a modern, cohesive aesthetic throughout the space.
I recently completed a 20'x6' mural for the Eagles Social Club in Jeannette, PA, located in their front entryway. The piece was designed to reflect the club's spirit and community pride, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for members and guests as they enter. It was a great experience bringing this large-scale artwork to life and contributing to a space that means so much to so many.
The pool house mural brings a tropical escape to life with a beautifully realistic ocean theme featuring swaying palm trees, vibrant hibiscus flowers, and serene coastal scenery. Painted with meticulous attention to detail, the mural creates a relaxing, resort-like atmosphere that enhances the outdoor space. The rich colors and lifelike imagery invite you to unwind and enjoy the tranquil beauty of a beachside paradise, right in your own backyard.
. Just Finished: Custom Murals for Kids' Bedrooms!
I recently wrapped up two playful and personalized mural projects—one for a boys' room and one for a girls' room, each designed to reflect their unique personalities and interests.
🟦 Boys' Room: Geometric Shapes
This mural brings bold, modern energy to the space using dynamic geometric shapes and clean lines. I played with color blocking, angles, and symmetry to create a fun, stimulating environment that's perfect for inspiring creativity and imagination.
🍓 Girls' Room: Strawberries & Cherries
Sweet and whimsical, this mural is full of charm. At her request, I painted vibrant strawberries and cherries across the walls, giving the room a cheerful, fruity feel. The colors are fresh and playful, adding a pop of personality and warmth.
It was such a joy bringing both of these visions to life and seeing how excited the kids were with the final results!
