I'm a Montana artist who is lucky enough to get to spend a bit of time in Arizona in the winter.  My paintings are a celebration of color, light and nostalgia. They encourage both myself and the viewer to take a moment to appreciate the beauty in the ordinary. The majority of the items in my still life settings are either family heirlooms or thrifted- and what fun I have collecting them! Previously an elementary teacher, I refrain from saying I'm self-taught in art as I've benefited from so many amazing online teachers. What an incredible online art community there is! 

Success, for me, is generating smiles :)  You can follow my journey at my Instagram or Facebook links.  Thanks for stopping by!
