​​​​​​​Hello and welcome to my site!

As an artist, I feel called to showcase the beauty of nature.

My creative sights shift to whatever subject matter strikes an emotional chord within me, often including dreamy landscapes, portraits of feathered friends, or dramatic skyscapes, seascapes, and cloudscapes.

I am often compelled to add elements of mystery or whimsy to my paintings--usually through the vivid use of color, lost and found edges, or the addition of atmospheric effects.

Lately I have been pulled toward abstraction in my landscapes, sky/seascapes, and even my florals!  I find this direction exciting because it allows viewers to enter the world of the painting and to continue the journey with their own imaginations filling in the mystery.

I paint in several mediums including water mixable oils and soft pastel.  I love watercolor for smaller works, sketching, and color studies, and acrylic when I want to challenge myself to paint fast and loose!

I do my work in a cozy, country studio located in rural Indiana, often pausing to watch the antics of our chickens and goats, where I reside on a hobby farm​​​​​​​ with my husband, my daughter, and my studio dog, Callie.

Here is a sneak peek into my world...

WELCOME! :)
