About me

Location	United States
Introduction	I'm an interior designer in Santa Monica, and have always wanted to spend some of my time making art. In 2020 I was excited to discover I could take painting classes from the New York Studio School on zoom. I've been taking classes there ever since, with Kaitlin McDonough. Through the use of paintings to inspire us in making transcriptions, and a creative series of prompts, Kaitlin helped me discover the subject that has the most resonance for me...memory paintings. In her classes and in a marathon class at NYSS with Graham Nickson, I've delved further into memory work. I've also enjoyed painting to describe a subject which l realize is really illustration and that may be the direction I move towards. I love storytelling.
