Bio

About me:
I am a woman, wife, mother, and grandmother (!). I also am a counselor, and have a calling to counsel people who have lived through traumatic events. I have always loved art, and through teaching art therapy to some of my trauma survivor clients, I reconnected with the value of art in the counseling arena and more so, I reconnected with the importance of art to the total well being of each of our souls.


I absolutely LOVE to make a work of beauty, a piece of art that speaks a unified message through of the many smaller stories (pieces) that make up the whole. Every media I work in has that same concept. That is what I do as a counselor as well - I help others find the message of who they are through piecing together the fragments of their life!

I create:
An expression of worship, a piece that reveals a deep eternal truth, or a piece that simply leads the viewer into a deeper discovery of their own spirituality or the relationship God wishes to have with them - these are what you might discover in my original works.

Creativity is energizing! I believe it is a gift from our Creator; a part of sharing in His Image. In expressing ourselves creatively, we are inspired and inspire others! While creative endeavors are valuable simply because they are an expression of the artist, I think it is important to leave an eternal footprint with whatever creative medium I use.
