from the artist

I am a 29 year resident of Colorado and I have been married to my Husband, Brian, for over 27 years. We raised our two amazing children in the ‘burbs of Broomfield. It was only after moving to our house in Cañon City that I discovered I had an inner artist. I am currently calling Colorado Springs my home!

I paint with acrylic paints, including metallic, pearl and glitter paints. I typically paint on canvas or wood boards and resin skulls but, I also paint on stone, ceramics, fabrics and more. I am an Intuitive Artist as I paint entirely free-hand with no forethought of pattern or design. I am also considered a Naïve Artist as I have no formal training or schooling in the Arts.

I love the idea of Wabi-Sabi, of finding beauty in imperfection, of revering authenticity above all. My paintings tend to be surprising even as I paint them. I like to think of them as a download of sacred geometry from the universe.

My paintings are created with a clear intention to delight the eye and lift the spirit, they represent my devotion to God and to humanity. I am a very new artist and I have only begun to spread my wings!
