<p>Accomplished professional artist and cultural heritage specialist with over 15 years of experience spanning fine arts creation, art conservation, and museum operations. MFA-trained painter specializing in oil portraits and mixed media installations with exhibitions at galleries nationwide. My diverse career path—from various roles at the Philadelphia Museum of Art to professional artist work and collaborative mural projects—has developed my ability to communicate effectively, engage with diverse audiences, and educate the public about art and history. I am adept at navigating different personalities to ensure projects meet deadlines and achieve successful completion. As an art educator, I excel at meeting students where they are and tailoring instruction to individual skill levels. I combine meticulous attention to detail, strong technical knowledge of artistic media, and have collaborative problem-solving abilities to preserve cultural heritage and create meaningful artistic experiences. I am very passionate about connecting audiences with art and history through both creative practice and institutional engagement.<br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
