Originally hailing from the heart of Indiana, I made the leap to Chicago 8 years ago. Post-lockdown, I immersed myself in the vibrant world of art, securing a full-time role as an Art Model at the American Academy of Arts College. Beyond my campus duties, I actively collaborate with various art academies, IL art groups, and professional artists handling commissions. Zoom sessions with artists across the globe add an exciting international dimension. Constantly communicating around Illinois.

Fuelled by an unbridled passion, I'm eager to evolve into a brand and expand my presence in the art world, deeply entrenched in both visual arts and film projects. It's an addiction, really I can't seem to get enough.

On a more personal note, I'm a sincere dog lover, finding solace in the calming embrace of water. During the summer, you'll catch me swimming at the beach, paddle boarding, or enjoying a boat ride. There's something about the water that keeps me centered and lost in dreams about life in general.

Also, rest assured, I bring cleanliness and good manners wherever I go. My parents certainly didn't raise a hooligan.

Looking forward to connecting!
