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 my own studio. My paintings are now in private collections around the world.

I am delighted to be represented by Sobering Galerie in Paris and featured in Artsy's Foundations Summer 2024 as one of their artists to watch.

My illustrated books include Artists In Residence by Melissa Wyse (Chronicle Books, 2021) and The Secret Garden: An Illustrated Edition of the Classic Novel (Chronicle Books, March 2024). I also have a forthcoming illustrated book, The Italian Summer Kitchen, by Cathy Whims (Countryman Press, April 2025).

I live in Franklin, 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 available through this website here and, I’m delighted to say, through Sobering Galerie in Paris, where I am represented in Europe. You can find those paintings via Artsy.

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