I am an artist, an optimist, a wife, a mom to three, and a two armed, tight hugger. I love wide smiles and loud belly laughs with my mouth opened. I believe in capturing the everydayness of life as much as possible because those moments are special to. My advice is to always take ALL the pictures to document your time, and the time of your loved ones here on Earth, love on ALL the people, spread joy and BE joy.

I launched my studio as a fine art + interior design business years ago, but today I operate it fully as an art studio. I am led by the juxtaposition of color and my art is often heavily textured. Seeing the colors is one thing, but being able to feel that color raised above the canvas introduces something new to your senses.

My creative process comes from a beautiful place of peace that fully encompasses my intuition, sights and sounds, and the incredible joy and gratitude I feel when painting. The blending of these things guide the movement of my hands, leading me to create richly layered art with texture, depth of color, beautiful rhythm, and meaning. I’ve been told my art evokes feelings, sets the mood, and often starts a conversation in the room.

One thing about me and art - whatever I create, it brings me literal joy, and I can’t release it to you unless I’m feeling it to. So you know it's gone be right when you receive it and you're going to love it as much as I do!
