My Story
Childhood & Creative Exploration
First Painting: In elementary school, I created a colored pencil drawing of The Cross on Calvary on Easter Morning and Winter Wonderland Snowmen, which both won awards. But, I couldn’t recreate it…
Art Education Begins: At the age of 30, I started taking classes at Awken with Delight to teach my son art appreciation as part of our homeschool curriculum. It began as a need for an elective, but with each passing month, I started painting consistently, and my skills increased exponentially. I then took classes with the Milan Art Institute and found healing in my painting.
Artistic Voice Emerges: I am still discovering my voice, as I don’t think it ever remains stagnant. My past, present, and future inform my art from small things in nature to stories with my son. I paint what I feel or what I want to feel when things are hard. My unique artistic style has given me the experience and confidence to embrace my creative journey, dedicating my free time away from work and family to refine my voice and style.
Artistic Legacy
Commitment to Beauty: My art brings beauty, hope, truth, and an understanding that transcends into something spiritual and profound. My paintings are a mirror, reflecting the inner beauty and infinite possibilities of the human spirit, resonating deeply with those who cherish spiritual richness and emotional depth in their lives.
Vision for the Future: I am dedicated to elevating my brand and the impact of my art on a global scale. My goal is to inspire others by demonstrating what is possible, breaking away from the “starving artist” stereotype, and setting a new standard for success and fulfillment in the art world.
Legacy Building: I am committed to continuously pushing the boundaries of my art, aiming to leave a transformative legacy in the art world. My mission is to create the most breathtaking artworks ever seen, stirring deep emotional connections, inspiring and reminding people that we are all purposefully, uniquely, and wonderfully made. This vision comes to life through my art and writings.
