My cat Bonez sparked my journey into animal portraiture during the unpredictable days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Before that, I was a full-time yoga instructor, but when the pandemic shut everything down, I found myself drawn back to my childhood love of painting animals. Bonez became the subject of the first painting I sold, and that's when I realized animal portraiture was my true passion.

I'm thrilled to share the exciting news that I am embarking on the journey of bringing a children's book to life. I’ve dreamed of being an author since I was a child.

Inspired by Baltimore, its quirky and charming culture, I am delighted to illustrate the charm of this city while featuring local dogs. I look forward to telling a tale of these local dogs meeting each other in my favorite spots in Baltimore City.

Take a sneak peek at the first sketch I made for the cover of the book!
