The mission of my artwork is to celebrate the vibrancy and joy of what sustains us - beloved pets, colorful fresh food, and everyday beauty in nature.

With an artist's soul and over 25 years of experience in the creative design business, I love telling client’s stories and launching their product or service through the power of graphic design. As a graphic design major and fine arts minor from the University of Cincinnati, fine art has become a more recent, colorful focus of mine as my husband and I observe our twin boys as they grow into independent young adults. Inspiration for my work ranges from plein air oil paintings of our stunning southwestern landscape; to oil paintings of colorful, local fruit and vegetables; to large acrylic canvases that capture the joy of beloved pets. With the exception of a 4-day Durango Art Center oil painting workshop, I am largely a self-taught artist. Through my art, I gain appreciation for life's ordinary events that are nothing short of extraordinary — the sights, textures and colors of everyday miracles that surround us.
