​ARTIST. TEACHER. STORY-TELLER.

---

​​I am a lover of art, words, life, creativity, family, nature and the world around me. The proud mother of three young adults, I am a mixed media artist who approaches both painting and teaching with inspiration and curiosity. 

When I paint I most often start with a concept (perhaps a title or an emotion) and then figure out how to convey that concept on to the canvas/board/paper. I never feel bound by traditional techniques, but rather seek out the technique that will allow me to communicate my message most effectively. Drawing inspiration from the world around me - whether it be headlines, nature or life’s experiences - I express on the canvas what has captured my attention and my heart.

​​​I believe art is an individual journey.
I learn about myself ​and connect to the world with each painting I create.
