About Me
Who am I?
Growing up I have always been connected to the arts. I started ballet at age 3 and continued throughout college. I’ve trained with professional companies; Houston Ballet, Washington Ballet, Miami City Ballet, and Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. Growing up in this sort of atmosphere gave me a keen eye for the arts.
With a passion for creativity an eye for detail, I strive to deliver impactful solutions and exceed expectations. I enjoy film photography, painting, and dance. I am an active member of the Tri Sigma sorority at VCU, where I’ve held the positions of Membership Recruitment Director, Webmaster, and Ritual Chair. I am always very involved in anything I commit myself to.
Paintings
I completed all of these paintings while studying abroad in Florence, Italy. These are all acrylic median, on canvas. Many of these are still life paintings, or photo referenced for inspiration. I have more artwork on my art Instagram account. @mnapolitanoart
