My Story

At age one, I won a painting contest at the county fair and haven't looked back since (that award-winning painting hangs in my studio).  

After many years of studying and teaching about great works at The Art Institute of Chicago, I set up a studio of my own. My paintings are in private collections around the world. 

My first illustrated book, Artists In Residence, is available for purchase. My second book with Chronicle Books, The Secret Garden: An Illustrated Edition of the Classic Novel, was released in March 2024!

I live in Tennessee with my husband, four children, and dog, Gordon.

Inspiration and Paintings

My work is a celebration of color and pattern inspired by everyday moments around the home and in the garden. My paintings are thoughtfully curated, reflecting my observant nature paired with my uninhibited brushstroke and color choice.

I work in watercolor and acrylic on canvas, linen, and paper. My paintings invite the viewer to imaginatively enter into spaces and find their place within them.  

Original Paintings & Prints

You will find original, one-of-a-kind works of art created in my studio. Original artwork is shipped directly from my studio. 

Also, I have a variety of prints available here and at Artfully Walls, Chairish, and Museum Quality Art.
