Art has always been my constant.

Through every season of life — raising four children, building a home, and now planting roots in the beauty of northern Michigan — creating has been the thread that runs through it all.

Surrounded by the forests, rivers, and sand dunes of the Great Lakes, I find myself endlessly inspired. My work attempts to capture nature not as it is, but as it feels — playful, luminous, and alive with the kind of wonder that takes you back to being a kid at the water's edge.

I paint for the child who felt the endless possibility of a summer day on the dunes. For the pure joy and presence of bare feet in a cold river, or the way the light hit the lake and made everything feel magical. My hope is that my art stirs something in you — that spark of imagination and freedom we sometimes forget we still carry.
