Writer/ Editor and Fine Artist
I have an extensive background in both fine art and writing. As a classically trained portraitist with over 20 years of experience, I am skilled at working in a variety of styles and mediums. Currently I am in the process of filing my doctoral dissertation, a book-length project that explores nineteenth-century literature, visual art, and critical theory. My research and teaching background as a PhD of English Literature helped me cultivate strong organizational, analytic, and communication skills. At the same time, my dedicated study of fiction writing has allowed me to hone my own creative writing talents.
