Artist Bio
I was born and raised in York, Pennsylvania, and from an early age, I had a passion for learning and exploration nurtured by a supportive family. I developed a love for academics, athletics, and the arts. I graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, while being a member of the Penn State Women’s Varsity Swim Team. At Penn State, I took classes not only in mathematics and science but also in business, theater, and the arts. Since graduation, I have worked for various chemical and pharmaceutical companies throughout my corporate career, enabling me to travel the world and experience the diverse cultures of our globe. I ultimately settled in southern California, where I have been married for 25 years and have two daughters. I have been a photographer and painter since 2015, beginning my journey with landscape photography, acrylic painting, and mixed media artwork.
