Let's savor an exceptional life in full color
I’m a gal with a studio full of paint and an outdoorsy-adventure-and-gardening habit in a life filled with global travels.
I grew up with simple, childhood explorations under the vast skies of the Texas Panhandle where thunderstorms, rocky outcrops, and stars hold a special place in my art inspiration.
When I'm nestled in my forested Portland Oregon studio, you'll find me painting colorful, contemporary abstract and mixed-media art.
My paintings are known for the layers of marks and colors peeking through and hinting at the combination of sights and feelings that add whimsy to life.
Having enjoyed both art and science, I have a BS and MS in Geological Sciences from The University of Texas at Austin, for which I created a multitude of maps and scaled 3-D models of ancient mountainous environments in Mexico.
I've exhibited photography in Singapore, mixed-media artwork in Saratoga Springs, NY, and created community artwork in Dresden, Germany.
I'm continually inspired by travel, photography, and world cultures and I've lived in Texas, France, Singapore, Germany, and New York, where I studied languages, photography, drawing, and painting. I continue to broaden my art skills through curated art classes.
