I’m a Michigan girl at heart, raised in Southern California. I live by the beach, south of Los Angeles, with my husband and our 4 sweet kids (2 teens and 2 toddlers!). I create expressive and energetic live paintings, realistic landscapes and florals through mindful layers of acrylic and oil paints.

From a very young age, I developed a deep connection with creating art. I consider myself “semi-self-taught” - I started college as a Studio Art major, but finished with a degree in Sociology. Before rediscovering my love of painting during COVID-lockdown in 2020, I worked in the wellness industry as a holistic nutritionist and Pilates instructor for over a decade.

You can find me at my home studio near the beach, painting the day away with a little one near my feet, inspired by the beautiful world around me!
