My Artistic Journey — And Why It Matters To You
Art isn’t just something I do — it’s a huge part of who I am. From the moment I first dipped a brush into paint, I fell in love with the ability to capture a feeling, a moment, or a story in a way that sparks a deep connection.
My journey has been filled with rich experiences — from living and teaching art in different parts of the USA and even in Kosovo — that have profoundly influenced my work. Each place I lived, each person I met, opened up a new view of the world and added depth, character, and feeling to my paintings.
With an MFA in painting and years of teaching art to children and adults, I bring a strong foundation of skills and techniques to my art — but it’s my life experiences that make my paintings more than just color on canvas. Each piece carries a bit of my story — a feeling, a moment, a piece of a place I called home — and when you hang it in your space, it becomes a part of your story, too.
Today, I’m living in Maryland and loving every chance I get to paint en plein air — setting up my easel outside and letting nature be my guide. Whether I’m capturing a charming corner of a nearby town or a dramatic view of the countryside, these paintings celebrate the world as I see it in the moment.
Whether you’re adding a special piece to your collection or simply looking for something that resonates with you, I hope you find something here that sparks your imagination, brings you happiness, and makes your home feel more like you.
