About
New York City | Florida
“Always go a little further into the water than you feel you are capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth, and when you don't feel like your feet are quite touching the bottom, you're just about in the right place to do something exciting.” - David Bowie
A maximalist in all aspects - Ette is a prolific multidisciplinary creative. The worldwide exhibited gallery painter and published poet carries two degrees in creative advertising, and graphic design.

Raised by a creative, Ette was innately drawn to the arts. Her first work dates back to 2003, the cover of her elementary school yearbook. Designed when she was in the third grade. Fast forward to 2019 New York City, debuting her first solo show in the penthouse of the historic Triangle building of Meatpacking District. Now, expanding globally. Exhibiting in Germany, France, Italy, Austria, and Africa.
Current Studies
My current studies deal with foraging the seasons of one's life. There is newness rearing it's head through the fallen leaves of the past. Embracing my 30's doesn't just feel like closing a chapter, but a book. I made the official "snow bird" move from the big apple to the sunshine state and thus have been creating from the in-between. In between who I was, and who I am becoming. Detoxing the sugar rush, utterly addicting energy of New York City. And settling in to the the slow, honey drip belabored breath of the ocean. Observing as my artistic style, inspiration, and process shift right before my eyes. As does everything around me and about me. This is a sacred place, a necessary one. There is nothing but surprise in store for my long-time collectors.
