About The artist

      Art has always been my means of expression. 

When I couldn’t articulate my feelings, I could draw. 

One of my earliest memories is in elementary school, and we had

to write our own books for language arts. I have a collection of

about 30  book jackets that I drew because that was by far my 

favorite part of the assignment. I think I only did one finished 

story, the rest were all blank inside.

​

     I'm experienced with many mediums such as encaustic, charcoal,

acrylic, oils, watercolor, oil pastel, conte, welding, ceramics and all bring much joy to see creation take different forms. I journey through bouts of color use and black and white.  Murals have become a newer developed passion of mine, because after experimenting with drawing on larger scales in college, I feel a sense of freedom with a big canvas.  I find great joy in utilizing the space to tell a story.

  Throughout every piece of work I take on, my philosophy has always been  to try and capture the feel of my subjects and infuse their energy into each piece.

Art will always be a part of my life and I have a passion for sharing

it with others and helping them to develop their own creativity through

self expression.
