About
About
I am a botanical artist specializing in watercolor. In each painting, I strive for both botanical accuracy and a sense of liveliness, translating the beauty of a plant from life to paper. My goal is to share the elegance of flowers and the richness of the natural world through my work.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Art History from SUNY Stony Brook and a Certificate in Botanical Illustration from the New York Botanical Garden. I am also a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists.

How It Is Done | Limited Edition Prints
Each limited edition print is meticulously crafted with care and attention to detail to ensure the highest quality. I use premium watercolor paper, chosen for its luxurious texture and durability. Pigment-based archival inks are employed to achieve exceptional color accuracy and resistance to fading, guaranteeing the artwork’s beauty for generations.
Every print is signed by me, embossed with my personal seal, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, affirming its uniqueness and value.
Limited edition prints are a perfect way to own a unique piece of art that combines exclusivity with affordability. These prints are created with love and precision to provide art collectors with pieces that truly reflect the essence of my original watercolors.
