I am a contemporary wildlife artist, wife, and mother of 3. I'm best known for my colorful, large-scale wildlife acrylic paintings and fun style that expresses both bright and natural elements. Working with my hands has always brought me joy.  From a young age, art and creating has been a big part of my life.  In fact, I spent my first year studying art in college, but was unsure how stable that path would be.  So I put away my art supplies and studied to become a dental hygienist.  Several years later, I took a break to be home with my kids, had a spark of inspiration and the journey began once again.
