I’m a graduate of the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts, where I studied fine arts and developed a lifelong dedication to creative expression. My studies abroad, along with certifications in early childhood development and fitness, have shaped the holistic approach I bring to teaching art—connecting creativity, mindfulness, and movement.
As an award-winning artist and educator, I founded Art & Asanas to encourage others to discover the joy of painting and the peace that comes through creative flow. For over 30 years, I’ve worked as a freelance artist and instructor, guiding children and adults alike to nurture their imagination, confidence, and artistic voice.
Whether I’m painting bold impressionistic landscapes, distinctive portraits, or vibrant still lifes, I pour my energy, expertise, and heart into every project—cultivating creativity in our community.
