Born and raised in Virginia... i used to say "DC", but now Im all Virginia Pride. I graduated from RISD with a degree in Painting about 2 years ago...and those two years have flown by. Worked my way to New York to be with all my friends and follow where my job was taking me-- i work as a figure model for artists. And, yes, that means Nude (most of the time), but there is much more to it.
I am doing my artwork out of my bedroom and trying to 'figure everything out'...but never call me an "artsy chick", i hate that.

As my summary says, i work as a figure model, but i also teach drawing, and work for a few artists. I'm very busy: gigs at awkward hours...and I'd eventually like that to change. I'm getting together a body of work to go for my MFA and live off loans for a bit...
I also spend a good bit of my free time running. Love it.

Having long, fun, sometimes intense conversations over wine and/or dinner.
Also, being punctual.

most people are intimidated because i look very serious, but that's just my thinking face...
And my glasses. None of my pictures have me wearing them, but think the glasses your mom wore in the '90s..

Wine, conversation, my family, sleep, physical activity/running/walking, a xerox machine

My artwork, and what was happening a year ago today

Working until 10 and then looking for a glass of wine

Amsterdam scared me.
