My Story

I grew up in an art studio. My mom taught children’s art classes and had a studio in our home - right off the kitchen. You could grab a snack and sit down to oil paint a few feet away. Art always felt totally natural and I loved it.

In 2010 I decided to take art from hobby to career after we welcomed our first baby. Our family has grown in the last decade quite a bit. My husband and I have a busy home with three kids, a Whoodle puppy named Sunny, and a delightful little bird named Melody. Since 2010 I’ve painted and shipped over 1200 original paintings all over the world, and am happy to share my creative process with you.

While I will always be a painter at heart, I’ve grown to enjoy Ipad art and surface design. I like the challenge of figuring out how to relate my traditional painting to new creations in digital art. I love color, thick texture, and often paint whatever brings me joy.

I think there’s an artist in everyone and am happy to journey with you as you make beautiful, happy art in your own style!
