My journey has been difficult and unique, gaining inspiration and strength along the way,  just to end up exactly where I'm supposed to be; at peace, inspired and with a paint brush in hand.  

​

First things first, thank you for visiting my site!  These pieces are a random smattering of work I've done over the past two decades.  Most are murals and/or commissioned art, I lost photos of some of my best work along the way, but I'm glad that the universe brought me right back around to this beautiful city which has inspired me to pick up the brush again.  

 

Back in the stone ages while I was in high school I drew a lot, took a disproportionate number of art classes, entered local art competitions, but swore that I would never make art, which is my love and passion, a career making it something I would hate.  As usual, I was wrong..  In 2001, after I had my first daughter, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to the owner of an all female mural/art business.   She was kind enough to take me on, show me the ropes and then set me free.  I stayed with the company for a few years and the experience was invaluable.  In that time I painted murals, created my first mosaic, learned amazing faux finishes,  made art out of furniture and even traveled to Nashville, TN for a trade show to learn from some of the best muralist in the country.  In 2004 my family and I decided to move to Hilton Head, SC and other than the "Hang 10" mural and the two large portraits of my girls, I all but abandoned my art for about 15 years.
