I create to remember.
Creating is a way to remember the joy + freedom available when I connect with Creative Self.
As a highly sensitive person in an overstimulating world,
making art has always been a way for me to create meaning out of my experiences + to process my feelings.
When I create, I remember who I am.
My purpose is to create joy in the world.
I create to fulfill my purpose.
I didn’t always paint with watercolor. . . The materials have transformed over the years, but the layering process has remained the same.
Keep scrolling to learn more about my art history.
I offer my guidance + creative gift through artwork + classes designed to help you discover your own color + joy.
I create
with mixed media
Layers are ever present in my art, creating depth by using combinations of text + image, color + pattern—the things that delight my eyes.
No matter the medium—acrylic, watercolor, collage, even murals—my signature style gives off happy vibes.
My design background has influenced my sense of order + use of typography in my art making.
Earning my degree in Graphic Design with a minor in Mass Communication, I learned the power of creative messaging + I understand its influence. I now borrow the formula of pairing images with text to great effect.
The resulting paintings are inspiring, vibrant depictions of what our souls need.
For a decade,
I created with collage + acrylic paint.
I sold my original art along with prints + cards at craft fairs and in local shops.

So Glad You Came, 2019
By 2019,
I was completely in love with the magical medium of watercolor.
Pregnant + painting at the kitchen counter, I traded my studio time for convenience + acrylic paint for watercolors.
And almost over night, I gave up creating with acrylic paint.
When I discovered that creating in the small moments made me feel more grounded, calm + present—I was hooked.
My watercolor + doodling practice allows me to seamlessly combine color + pattern + text.
Plus, I’m no longer cycling through the process, restricted to my studio, or burdened by the clean up of acrylic paint.
What does this mean for you?
My simplified, layered watercolor process allows me to share my knowledge of color, composition + harmony, so that you feel more cool, calm + collected when creating.
It’s also an appreciation for the beauty of rain
+ highlights what can grow after the storm.
My art is more than sunshine on a rainy day.
Transform your living spaces into art galleries + indulge in the pure joy that color can bring.
I paint murals to create joy.
Connect to color + joy with a custom mural.
For a decade, I have helped business owners, photographers + parents bring their space to life with one-of-a-kind murals.
From vinyl decals + painted windows for storefronts to murals + hand-drawn backdrops, I’ve designed, painted + drawn murals for a variety of spaces.
I send emails every other Thursday to help you connect to Creative Self so you feel more grounded, calm + present.
Each newsletter features a creative invitation, things worth sharing + a snapshot from my studio.
