I am a 21-year-old artist based in Solon, Iowa, specializing in creating meaningful artwork that captures people, stories, and special moments. My work ranges from live event art and custom portraiture to illustration, character design, and book publishing projects.

I offer live portrait drawing at weddings, corporate events, festivals, conventions, fundraisers, proms, and private parties, providing guests with personalized keepsakes created on-site. I am also contracted with Iowa City to create live portraits at community events. In addition, I create live wedding and special occasion paintings, capturing unforgettable moments as they happen and transforming them into one-of-a-kind works of art.

Beyond live events, I accept custom commissions including family portraits, pet portraits, custom superhero portraits, sports artwork, personalized designs, and other one-of-a-kind pieces tailored to each client. I also create character designs, book covers, and interior illustrations, and I am currently illustrating a children’s book. Whether working with authors, businesses, or families, my goal is to create artwork that tells a meaningful story.

I also teach private art lessons, helping students of all ages develop their drawing, painting, and creative skills through personalized instruction.

Some of the events and organizations I have worked with include:

• • Snake Alley Art Fair (Burlington, IA)

• • Des Moines Con – Artist Alley

• • City High School Prom (live caricatures)

• • Micah Hyde Charity Events

• • University of Iowa licensed artwork and athlete collaborations

• • Iowa City community events

• • Private weddings, celebrations, and community events throughout Iowa

Whether you’re looking for live entertainment for your event, a timeless wedding painting, an illustrated book, art lessons, or a custom piece of artwork, I’d love to help bring your vision to life.
