About Me

Creativity has been a constant throughout my life. As a contemporary painter and illustrator, my art is deeply rooted in the American West. While Texas-born, I'm a mountain girl at heart, having grown up exploring the Rockies of Wyoming and Colorado. My artistic journey has taken many turns, but I've developed my voice through a deep connection to the natural world.

My creative path evolved through an active imagination, private lessons, higher education, and trial and error. My academic background in Anthropology and Wildlife Conservation also informs my work.

I primarily work in oils and acrylics, often pulling from pop, abstract, and folk art influences. I also explore other media, such as watercolor, gouache, fiber, and wood. My work centers on the mountains, deserts, and diverse wildlife found across the American West. I aim to create pieces where color and light sing, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and discover something new. Each piece reflects Mother Nature's rugged beauty and my evolving artistic path.

My work has been exhibited nationally, and I'm honored to be a member of the Women's Caucus for Art (WCA & WCACO) and Cowgirl Artists of America. I currently live and work in Seattle, Washington. I’m eager to see how the Pacific Northwest inspires my art in the future.
