“I am endlessly fascinated by how we connect and share our existence on this beautiful planet. For me, art is a magical way to facilitate that happening/awareness .”

I spent my early years in southern Wisconsin, where a deep curiosity about life and a profound love of nature were my constant companions. As an adult, the majestic mountains of North Carolina and the vibrant energy and beauty of Seattle, WA called to my heart. It was after the birth of my 2 children that my passion for art truly blossomed. Starting with traditional painting and drawing, I eventually fell hard for the Adobe and Procreate graphics and animation software. Art has been my soul food every since.

Bringing joy and playfulness to others through my creations is my greatest thrill. Sharing wonder, whimsy, delight, and a place for dreaming fuels my art making.

I have an unabashed love of color. Some other words to describe my loves: kindness, discovery, awe, humor, gentleness, unexpected connections, beauty, and attention to detail..

This incredible world is an endless source of inspiration: the myriad forms of nature, the vibrancy of celebrations, food, animals, architecture, music, travel, fashion, furniture, housewares… and on and on!

I also love quotes. I’ll leave you with a favorite from Czeslaw Milosz:

“Not that I want to be a god or a hero. Just to change into a tree, grow for ages, not hurt anyone.”
