In 2013, I decided to quit corporate America and follow my dream of painting! Although I enjoyed painting my whole life (my first memories of art begin as far back as Preschool..literally!), I put this aside while getting my Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology. After working a few years, I realized I missed doing what I loved most. I began painting again, quickly gained a following, began exhibiting in galleries and top festivals, and knew I was on the right path. Fast forward to now, where you can find my murals and artwork in hospitals, hotels, schools, restaurants, on storefronts, construction machinery, pillars, buses, parking meters, merchandise, and furniture! I have collaborated with and created art for well known companies and events, such as Swatch, Birkenstock, CitizenM Hotels, Cirque Du Soleil, Rimmel London, LIFEWTR, Dyson, Allergan, El Jimador Tequila, Finlandia Vodka, Sunfest, The Florida Lottery, Teavana Tea, The Miami Heat, The Miami FC, Baptist Children’s Hospital, The Miami Marine Stadium, J.Crew, Pitbull’s New Years Eve Concert, Art Basel, Miami New Times, and Miami Swim Week. I am well known in South Florida for my live paintings where I get to paint during fun events, in front of huge crowds. Having been born and raised in Miami, I am STRONGLY influenced by the city's vibrant colors (can ya tell?!?), which shines through in my abstract and figurative paintings. The purpose of my creations is to elicit an uplifting energy from the viewer. I often hear that my artwork makes people feel good and happy, which is the exact response I’m looking for! My work has been seen on The Real Housewives of Orange County, LifeWTR’s national TV commercial, commercials for the Miami FC, Nbc 6 In The Mix, and more. My art has been published in The Huffington Post, Ocean Drive magazine, The Miami Herald, Blink Art Resource, Miami New times, Luxe Interiors + Design, and many art magazine publications.
