In the serene landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, an artist finds her inspiration and brings it to life on canvas. Her brushstrokes capture the essence of her lifestyle, blending strength with fluidity in a harmonious balance. However, she believes in stepping out of her comfort zone and exploring new horizons. Embracing vulnerability, she sees doubt as a stepping stone for future works, branching out from sylvan settings to still life compositions that play with light and shadow.
Born and raised in Ohio, this artist's journey has taken her to nine different states, where she balanced her passion for painting with a career as a Registered Nurse in emergency rooms and critical care units. Retirement has now granted her the time to fully immerse herself in her creative pursuits.

With a love of outdoor activities like hiking and kayaking, she embraces her Sagittarius spirit and lets her free-spirited nature shine through in her artwork. Her studio, a sanctuary of creativity, is where her inner world meets the outer world in vibrant colors and expressive compositions.
