I'm an American of mixed Jewish and French descent. I was born in New York City but grew up in San Francisco with my family. My parents are both artists - my mom is a painter and my dad is a musician - so I've always been surrounded by creativity. I studied fine art at the University of California, Berkeley, where I honed my skills as an artist while also learning about art history and theory. After college, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue my passion for painting full-time.
I love experimenting with different mediums and techniques in my art, from oil paints to digital drawing software. My favorite subjects to paint are landscapes and cityscapes - there's something about capturing the light and energy of a bustling metropolis that really speaks to me. I've been lucky enough to have had some of my work featured in local galleries and exhibitions, which has given me a lot of confidence as an artist.
In addition to painting, I'm also super into music and dance - I've taken ballet classes since I was a kid, and I love attending concerts and festivals whenever I can. There's something about the combination of art, music, and performance that just feels like home to me. When I'm not in my studio or at a show, you can usually find me trying out new recipes in the kitchen or practicing yoga on the beach. It's all about finding balance and inspiration for me!
