About the Artist 

Making Art brings me joy! 

My inspiration comes from the people, places and things that surround me. Flowers, fruits, and textiles fill my canvases.

When I create a piece, I use a combination of acrylic paint, fine art markers, and swatches of fabric. 

In my studio I am surrounded by color, light, and music.

My hope is that you will find joy in viewing my work.
