SCAM ALERT: We’ve had many reports of scammers impersonating Handmade Arcade and inviting people to apply for markets, book hotel rooms, and more. Please note that official Handmade Arcade communications will only ever come from an email address ending in @handmadearcade.org. Thank you!
I am a watercolor painter creating botanical and abstract works that celebrate the beauty of the natural world. Inspired by the patterns, textures, and colors found in nature, I draw much of my inspiration from the rich biodiversity of the Pittsburgh region where I live and work. Alongside my studio practice, I am an art educator passionate about helping others connect with creativity and the outdoors. I teach classes for both children and adults, often bringing lessons outside to encourage close observation of the natural world. Through my artwork and teaching, my goal is to foster a deeper appreciation for art and nature, inspiring others to notice and celebrate the beauty in our region’s landscapes and vegetation.
