Welcome!

My art celebrates the beautiful moments in life - the simple joys, the unexpected delights, and the quiet wonders that surround us every day. Through layers of texture and color, I create pieces that remind us to pause, breathe, and notice these precious gifts.

Life's path isn't always easy, and sometimes we need gentle reminders that there's so much brightness and joy around us. That's where art becomes a bridge - a daily touchstone that connects us back to joy and wonder.

Living in Northern Arizona, I find endless inspiration in nature's small details: the way sunlight filters through trees, a deer's quiet presence among the trees, or the vibrant colors of a mountain sunset. Working with bright, vibrant colors and mixed media, I layer my own hand-painted collage papers alongside vintage treasures from old books and journals. Each piece I create is an invitation to slow down, rest in beauty, and rediscover the simple moments of joy that often pass by unnoticed.
