Art has the power to bring joy, healing, and peace. I cherish opportunities to create beauty and inspire self-discovery through art. I bring my sunny disposition to all I do and actively seek opportunities to use sustainable and upcycled materials.

I am a champion of handwriting and a professional artist, designer, art teacher, and yoga instructor in Nashville, Tennessee. I work in my home studio and specialize in calligraphy, hand-engraving, lettering, watercolors, drawing, and graphic design. Clients include American Chemical Society, Armani, Belk, Dillard’s, Dior, Gucci, Jo Malone London, Maker’s Mark, Moët Hennessy, Nordstrom, Ray-Ban, Tom Ford, UPS, and Virgin. It is an honor to have my engravings, paintings, calligraphy, and hand-pulled prints in private collections in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, Washington, DC, France, and Japan.

I studied drawing and watercolor painting with Ellen Elmes for two years at Southwest Virginia Community College before receiving a BFA in Graphic Design from Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, DC. I have 22 years of experience in print graphic design, specializing in logo design, brand/visual identity, publication and book design, and custom lettering and calligraphy. Please see LinkedIn for my complete resume.

I have a great sense of wonder and that curiosity influences my art and way of teaching. I have been teaching private and group calligraphy and art classes to teens and adults since 2016, and yoga classes since 2020. Specializing in Kids Yoga, Vinyasa/Power Flow, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Gentle Flow, and Chair Yoga, I love teaching yoga to all ages. I began began practicing in 2001 with Jenny Otto in Green Belt, MD, and later at Unity Woods Yoga Center in Washington, D.C., a studio focused on the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar. In 2014, a friend invited me to a Vinyasa class and I was immediately hooked. I received my 200 RYT Vinyasa certification from Rising Wolf Yoga School in 2020, and my 300 RYT certification from Deep Roots Yoga School in 2024.

I am the person, artist, and teacher today because of loving family and friends, practice, discipline, and wonderfully talented teachers. I am a lifelong student and continue to learn from the most inspiring calligraphers, artists, and yogis around the world.
