I am a petite artist, a veteran's wife, and a mother of three boys, two who walk beside me and one who walks with me always. Originally from the metropolitan area of Detroit, Michigan, I graduated from the Columbus College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and went on to work as an art conservator in New Orleans, Louisiana, before pursuing a career as a professional artist. As a former military family, we lived all over the United States, now calling Avon, Ohio home. Over the course of my career, my work has found its way into galleries, museums, hospitals, restaurants, corporate and private collections, licensing partnerships, and the homes of collectors near and far. It is a career built on the belief that art can heal.
