I create energetic and colorful contemporary paintings with acrylics, collage, soft pastels and mixed media, influenced by my passions for travel and interior design.

In High School I took Every. Single. Art. Class. I made some truly ugly paintings, soldered a silver & turquoise ring, silkscreened prints, and threw wobbly pots out of clay. And though I took a different college route graduating with a degree in business and accounting, that drive for creativity persisted while working full time and raising two boys, one with special needs.

I often fulfilled the need for a creative outlet and self-expression through design projects for my own homes. I’ve been covered in latex paint, wallpaper paste, tile mastic, and been known to design and sew my own curtains (even complex pleated drapes – never again). My husband is suspicious we've sold homes and moved just so I could redecorate another house (he might be right). 

I’ve been fortunate to wear many hats in my corporate career, starting as a CPA in finance, transitioning to sales & sales management, President of business units for a publicly traded company, and rounded out my corporate career as the first ever Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer of that company. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to see the world through these roles, experiencing so many amazing cultures, cuisines, history, architecture, and art, sparking my passion for art & travel. My ‘long way round’ journey to abstract painting has informed my art in ways that I could never have achieved otherwise.

The spaces we occupy may be more important to us as safe havens and places to express ourselves more than ever before. My passion is to help art lovers use original work as a meaningful way to express their unique personality through their individual home décor and style. I have a blast exploring color, shape, and texture in my studio to create expressive art that is ‘that finishing touch’ to your room so that you feel uplifted, energized, and joyfully connected to your home every time you pass by the painting.
