In late 2019, when I was 12 years old, I started painting at the Round Top Family Library's after-school art program in Round Top, Texas.

Since then, I trained at home and with Karen Vernon in Fayetteville, Texas; Tom LaRock in The Woodlands, Texas; and Robin Williamson at DaVinci Studios in Sugar Land, Texas. I recently completed the Painting the Figure in Oil summer intensive with Toby Neve at the Florence Academy of Art in Florence, Italy.
My biggest artistic influences are: William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Charles Bargue, and Frederic Leighton.
