Art captured my heart during my school years when I encountered an artist at a local county fair. His ability to swiftly capture the essence of people left me intrigued and inspired. He instilled in me the belief that art could be created by anyone with dedication. This experience ignited my artistic passion.

I pursued this passion at Seattle Pacific University, where I received an art scholarship and earned a BA in Visual Arts. Exploring various mediums, particularly pastels, laid my creative foundation. However, after college, my life took a challenging turn as I navigated multiple auto-immune conditions that significantly impacted my quality of life.

Amidst health challenges and the unpredictability of life and parenthood, art became more than just an interest—it became my joy and purpose. As my health improved, I began to share my love for creativity through life and creativity coaching, while continuing to explore various artistic mediums.

Through it all, the yearning to create persisted and the positive potential of art became clear. This realization led me back to pursuing art full-time, with a focus on abstract art. This style allows me to express myself freely and embrace curiosity, motivated by colors, shapes, nature, and personal experiences, without the need for realistic representation.

Today, in my Seattle home studio, I find deep satisfaction and joy in creating abstract art. My pieces invite viewers to discover vibrant details and the emotions they evoke, aiming to enrich your day and inspire positivity. I strive to create art that uplifts and brings color to your environments, filling spaces with optimism and beauty.

Art remains a constant part of my life, providing peace and happiness not only to me but also to those who experience it. I am grateful for every opportunity to brighten someone's day with my art. When I'm not painting, I treasure time with my family, enjoy nature's beauty, and take walks with my husband and our dogs.
