Before moving to Portland I was a sales associate and finance manager at a Harley Davidson shop in Los Angeles. I have been riding Harleys for over 13 years and my favorite hobby is packing up my Dyna and heading out to do some moto camping in the redwoods.

So far I’ve been enjoying Portland on two wheels and on the water!

In another life I managed a gallery in Santa Fe, NM on Canyon Road and showed my own paintings in NM, AZ, CA, and CO. I look forward to opening a studio again one day soon here in the PNW and getting involved with local galleries.

I grew up in Pittsburgh, (Go Steelers!) attended undergrad at WVWC earning a BA in English writing and Studio art, and then a MFA at James Madison University in Virginia. I taught drawing and design skills along with art history and digital photography for a few years before moving to Santa Fe, NM to help a relative. Looking for a larger town, I made my way to Los Angeles where I tried my hand in the movie business, was Rob Lowe’s assistant for 3 days and finally landed at the Harley shop. During Covid, my partner, our two kitties and I moved to Portland, OR so that I could pursue my artistic passions and we could enjoy the small city life and the great green PNW.
