Through every role I've played - mom, realtor, costume designer, vintage curator - art has quietly stayed by my side. It was always there when I needed calm, clarity, or just a creative escape.
In one of my hardest seasons, I picked up a paintbrush again...and everything shifted. What started as healing turned into something bigger: connection, purpose, and a new path forward. Little did I know this would lead to a career pivot and a level of personal fulfillment I never imagined.
I found a "happy place" on Instagram years ago and started a small business selling vintage home décor. I enjoyed collecting and selling vintage art and frames, but I never had the confidence to share my own artwork.
With the encouragement of my loved ones, I finally began to share my paintings with my Instagram audience, and the result was transformative.
People actually connected with my art and supported my vision!
This feeling has ignited a fire that inspires me to lean into this new journey as I reinvent myself once again. My work is a discovery of self...a blend of childlike imagination, simple observations of life, and the wonderous path not yet traveled.
I hope you find something here that makes you smile, and know that my heart & soul is poured into every painting.
