Colorful Original Paintings and Mixed Media Collage on Canvas, Prints and Artsy products, I love color and creating beauty. I am passionate about creating art and sharing it with others. I’ve been curious about art and creativity since childhood and I’ve never lost that. My art is my therapy and I feel that it’s also a gift and spiritual connection with God. My creative calling is to share an encouraging message of hope, joy, love and faith to those who view my paintings. I seek to create art that touches people where they are, elevates, uplifts, brightens the room and brings overwhelming joy and light to the world and glory to God, the ultimate Creator.

Biography
I am an artist and I love color. Speech therapy with children is my career and day job. I have been creating art since childhood but I seriously began studying and drawing at around age 28. My art was born of a passion to put on paper the glorious images that constantly danced in my mind. I am ever learning, evolving and growing as an artist. I paint daily in acrylic and Mixed Media on canvas and wood. I love to paint flowers, fruit, birds, animals, pets, nature and the beach.
I am married to a wonderful man, have 2 grown stepsons and two beautiful Brittany Spaniels. We live in the Pacific Northwest and enjoy hiking and exploring nature with our dogs. I have had my items in art shows, and art markets and sold a lot on ETSY!
