My art journey has been an ever changing metamorphosis.
I would venture to guess that it is that way for many artists.

Maybe most artists.

The pieces that I first did were much like my home and my wardrobe,
subdued and calm.
Filled with vintage elements.

I very much enjoyed this early phase.....

....And then I found the joy of colors.

Bright and bold.

And something in my heart blossomed.

I have favorite colors that always seem to make it into

each painting... even when I vow that I'm going to

try a different color scheme~

I look down and see that crimson, tangerine, and viridi turquoise

have their lids open once again!

Those are the colors that speak to me.

That inspire me.

That bring a smile to my face.

I've painted birds.

I've done a series on what I called my 

Grateful Girls.

I've worked on some whimsical animals.

And my newest venture has been in abstract.

I have very much been enjoying the process of balancing color and patterns.

Of finding meaning in symbols.

Of letting go and just putting hand to canvas.

It's such a peaceful, mind-freeing state to be in.

I have enjoyed all the changes that have come and welcome them with an open mind

and an open heart.

I'm so thankful for the joy-bringing that comes with creating.

Blessings and big wishes to you on this beautiful day~

About ME :)

Artist. Explorer. Believer.
I am creating art that makes my heart happy, healing pains of the past and filling a void with soulful truths and joy.

In Kindergarten, I filled in the blank "When I grow up I want to be ________" with the words an ARTIST.
That sweet, beautiful dream was left behind somewhere along the journey when I let other ideas get in its way.... but I found and warmly rekindled the dream in recent years.
Now I can't imagine a day without paint on my hands. (and maybe a little on my face and clothes) :)
I enjoy bright, joyous colors that make my heart sing and am constantly inspired by the beautiful creation of the best artist ever ~ God in Heaven.

I believe that art has the power to heal hurting hearts. It happened for me after losing my sister to cancer and finding bits of purpose and joy among the grief when there was a canvas put in front of me. It is that time with paint and canvas that my mind can be clear of worries or sadness and I can just feed my soul the happiness of creating.

It sustains me and motivates me to keep ever searching for joy. I hope that you can feel that joy and hope within each painting I create.

I live in the spacious Midwest with my dashingly handsome husband, two incredibly creative girls, and two adopted grey cats, Brian Wilson and Kyle.

I like a good steaming cup of Earl Grey tea and really dark chocolate with sea salt and almonds.
