My Story

I grew up in the midwest surrounded by big skies, bright stars, and a houseful of people I love. I started drawing and painting the second I could hold a crayon and/ or a paintbrush and haven't stopped since! Nothing makes me happier than creating artwork, spending time with my amazing daughters, deep dish pizza, my dog Roscoe, a sunny day, and a really nice glass of white wine.

I believe that perfect is boring.
I believe that everyone has the ability to create any life that they imagine.
I believe there is beauty and magic all around us.
I believe in YOU.
