In my work, I strive for a balance of technical accuracy and artistic interpretation...

Using a bold color palette to evoke the emotions and likeness of my subjects.

I draw inspiration from great artists like Alice Neel, who put people first, and Mary Cassatt, whose tender depictions of motherhood resonate deeply. Henri Matisse’s vibrant use of color and light also influences my approach, helping me create portraits that are both engaging and evocative.

With my extensive background in student advising, I understand the importance of listening and truly connecting with those I work with. I approach each commission with care, ensuring that your vision is not only realized but transformed into something uniquely beautiful. Together, we can create a portrait that celebrates the essence of your loved ones, capturing moments to be cherished for years to come.

Art that celebrates life's moments

Whether it's a cherished pet, a family member, or a special memory, my portraits transform meaningful moments into timeless art. As a mom of three young children and a self-taught artist, I appreciate the opportunity to provide a precious keepsake for families and create artwork that reflects their everyday lives. Let’s create something that celebrates the people, pets, and moments that the matter most to you.
