I couldn't tell you when I first held a paintbrush but I CAN tell you I was young!  I'm an animal lover with a border collie mix rescue pup, Brody.  That's him on the left.  He was my very first pet portrait. Home watercolors stemmed from a painting of our first house as newlyweds. And now that I have a private pilot husband, I paint an increasing number of planes!

​My son was born in 2017 and after painting on the side as a hobby for years I decided to go for it, leaving my job in computer software with an amazing company who remains dear to my heart.  I am living the dream watching Jacob grow and painting away during naptime.  

The wonderful journey that led me to my husband, Hunter, took us from our southern roots across the country to Boise, Idaho. As much as we miss our family and friends, we love the adventure and the beautiful scenery around us (talk about art inspiring). I thank God for all He has given me and a talent I can share with others!
