I am an American painter who first came to Italy in 2004 to study drawing on a scholarship in Florence after studying painting, drawing, and printmaking at Antioch College and the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga.

After my year of study in Florence, I decided to stay in Italy and began taking my easel out on the streets of Florence, then Rome, and all of Italy to learn and absorb this country’s rich layers of history and culture. I finished my education at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome.

 I started Sketching Rome Tours in 2012 with the idea of exploring and seeing the city from an artist’s point of view.
