About Me

Welcome to my corner of the art world. I am an artist driven by a passion for expression and beauty in the small details of the world. I enjoy connecting with others through my art about topics generally swept under the rug.

My creative journey began as a young child while browsing through art books in a home my mother worked in. I was obsessed with the shapes and colors, then began to make on my own.

As an adult, I lost touch with my creative side for some time, until a therapist recommended draw to help with healing through trauma and living with PTSD. I learned how powerful the creative process and art can be.

Today, I work out of my studio in Michigan, creating artwork that I hope will help others feel closer in the world and gain an understanding of trauma sufferers.

I am deeply influenced by such artists as Edward Hopper, Paul Cezanne, the Fauvist movement, and study folk art of different cultures. When I’m not in the studio, you can find me enjoying a book, watching a good movie with my dog, or enjoying a good contemplative sit in the garden.

I am open about women’s issues, PTSD, and grief. I believe they are natural reactions to abnormal circumstances and by erasing the stigma of them, we also narrow divides.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope my art inspires you to be just who you are.

I’d love to hear your thoughts!
