Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I’ve recently returned to painting after years away from the canvas. I was taught to paint what's right in front of me, and right now it's motherhood. I became a mom at 36, in October 2023, and I’ve been capturing glimpses of my son Gus’s inner world ever since. And, in the process, I’m rediscovering my own. In the summer of 2024, I sold the e-commerce brand I founded - from 2017 until my son was born, I lived and breathed my business. Saying goodbye to a venture I built from the ground up was not easy, but it opened the door for something even more meaningful: the chance to reconnect with my creativity and devote myself fully to this new chapter of life. Motherhood has been the most challenging and beautiful experience I’ve ever had. Everything Gus does fills me with wonder. These small, fleeting moments—full of humor, tenderness, and chaos—are the heart of my work. Before launching my business, I studied art history, earning my BFA from Cornell and a Master’s from Christie’s. After years of building and growing a brand featured by Forbes, Business Insider, and Good Morning America, I’m bringing that same spirit and dedication back to where it all began: the studio. Here, I create paintings that reflect my life now—intimate, playful, and grounded in the joy and complexity of motherhood. Even as a student, my focus was always on portraiture—that's my speciality.
