I am a multidisciplinary artist with over 35 years of experience in stained glass, mosaics, digital illustration, and traditional painting. I work across acrylic, ink, watercolor, and oil, and I enjoy blending hands-on craft with digital tools to bring vibrant concepts to life. I am also experienced in teaching and running creative projects, from small personal pieces to workshops and studio programs. As a former business owner in the arts sector, I developed skills in leadership, strategic planning, and client relations, and I have hands-on experience interpreting architectural drawings and contributing to project planning in construction-adjacent contexts. I am quick to adapt to new tools and thrive in dynamic, collaborative environments where creativity and organization intersect.
