ABOUT

I hope my art connects with people because of a feeling, a nod to a memory, an inside joke that lands, something random that you thought was an individual personal quirk, but you suddenly realize must be a shared experience.

I use mostly watercolor, acrylic and pencil. I intentionally leave sketchy bits, brushstrokes, drips and imperfections because I think those are the magic. They show the work, the process, the story of how the piece came to life.

I work with brands, manufacturers and individuals who value handmade art and unique stories.

Please reach out to collaborate anytime!

If you want to know me more as a person, read on.

1) I like to bake over-the-top birthday cakes for my kids,  and I continually tweak my chocolate chip cookie recipe trying to make it the stuff of childhood legend! 

2) I like to problem-solve & dream up DIY projects, then make a mess making them happen.

4) I like to PLAN. A. PARTY!  I love making every detail suit the party person to an absolute T! No sleep around here on party eve!

In the past few decades, I've had a custom wedding gown studio, worked in graphic design, painted hundreds of portraits of people, pets, houses, weddings...... I've collaborated with awesome clients on logos, branding & labels. I've licensed my art for all sorts of products from housewares, to phone cases, to puzzles. I've also written, photographed, and illustrated a good many art instructional books, and taught online classes that encourage creativity.

It's definitely a lot going on. But I don't know if I'll ever narrow things down, because it just makes me too happy believing the sky's the limit.
