Welcome!

I graduated from Brigham Young University in 2003 earning degrees in Painting and Art Education.  I have shown my artwork in dozens of galleries, shows, competitions, and venues across Utah, Idaho, and Washington States.  I taught art for 9 years, and now work from home. I use many mediums Including watercolor, oil paint, ink, pencil drawing, print making and mixed media. How can you pick just one? My recent obsession is digital art and surface pattern design.  I appreciate the convenience and immediacy that digital art adds to my life. 

I love finding order in the chaos.  As a busy mother, entropy seems to rule most of the time.  Art pushes me to step back and take a different look at the humor and beauty all around me.  I’m inspired by the changing of the seasons, unusual lighting and soul-moving color combinations.  Surface pattern design gives me the freedom to create traditional textures and subjects one day and silly novelty prints the next. My background in painting and drawing has allowed me to add fine details to my toile de jouy patterns, as well as creating abstract watercolor textures for backgrounds and wallpaper. I love that every day is an adventure.
