This young (b. 1986) Pennsylvania native studied traditional European painting techniques and is inspired to bridge the past with the present by using old techniques with modern subjects.

This series of realistic portraits shows her amazing talent with the paintbrush. You can see more of her work on her website or follow her Instagram account. |
