Painting is a passion that I have been able to pursue for several years by creating landscapes, portraits, and still-life paintings. In 2018, I took painting trips to Brittany, France and Florence, Italy. In the fall of 2019, I had a chance to study at the Florence Academy of Art, and in April 2020, I enrolled in the Master Artist Program (MAP) at the Compass Atelier with Glen Kessler as my teacher. I expect to complete the MAP in April 2023.
