- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my Master of Fine Arts degree from West Virginia University in 2007. I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts at Seton Hill University in 2002. In 2006, with John Pascarella, I founded The Brand Studio - a Pittsburgh based wedding photography studio. Together we have photographed hundreds of weddings in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Portraits have been the focus of my professional and artistic work for nearly 20 years. As a student at West Virginia University and Seton Hill University, portraits were the emphasis of my studies and work in a variety of media. As a graduate assistant and later as an adjunct at West Virginia University, I taught oil painting, figure drawing, and introductory drawing courses. Since completing my Master of Fine Arts degree in 2007, I have worked professionally as a wedding and portrait photographer through The Brand Studio.
