As far back as I can remember
From the moment I picked up my first crayons at five years old, I knew art would be part of my life. That early spark grew brighter in middle school when an encouraging art teacher told me I had real talent—words that planted the seed for a lifelong creative journey.
I went on to study art, graphic design, and illustration at the University of Washington and Western Washington University, later continuing my education at the School of Art in Scottsdale, Arizona.
I’ve also had the privilege of learning from inspiring local artists such as Susan Bennerstrom, Lorna Leibert, and Cooper Lanza.
My creative path has taken many forms. I began by painting murals in homes and daycare centers, illustrated for Geographics Paper, and designed outdoor recreational gloves for Tabar Inc. Each chapter added new skills, new joy, and new inspiration.
Today...
Now, in what I lovingly call my “third act,” I’m building a home studio dedicated to producing original and limited-edition digital art.
Each printed piece is hand-embellished, transforming it into a unique, one-of-a-kind treasure.
You can purchase artwork directly or special-order a custom piece by sending me a photo. Prices remain accessible, and custom orders typically take about two weeks.

Sharing art with you fills my heart with joy.
