New York City
- I love practicing calligraphy, especially with poetry I've written myself.
- In my free time I bake cakes--I'm actually baking my friend's wedding cake next month!
- My cat is too cool for me.
I'm an artist and educator with a focus in life drawing, which means I love drawing the world around me. I'm also an oil painter. I first learned to paint from the landscape in the South of France--every day I would bring an easel out and paint under the sun. At University of Colorado, Boulder I graduated with a degree in creative writing and a minor in studio art. I received my Master's of Fine Arts degree with a focus in anatomy from the New York Academy of Art, and I currently help teach at the Art Students League. I also host figure drawing and plan whimsical and artistic events around the city, such as a prom in a skate park!
