My parents were avid fans of opera, classical music, and visual arts. My childhood was an immersion of culture that influenced my interests and education. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Columbus College of Art and Design. 

 I have always felt that working in just one medium restricts the creative process and limits an artist's ability to express life as she sees it in her mind. This is why I use multiple materials in my works such as textiles , glass and metal.

 When I was nine, my family visited the Gardens of Versailles. The mesmerizing beauty of the palace enthralled my senses and forever shaped my artistic vision. My floral pieces aim to recreate the regal elegance of baroque Europe.
