Get to Know the Austin Artist:
As a storyteller, abstract art is my language to convey the lessons in self discovery that I continue to learn and reinforce the person I hope to become. Through themes of empowerment and rich with hidden symbolism, my art cultivates connection while elevating interiors. Each artwork is so much more than a pretty rectangle on the wall. 

There is a personal narrative, an inspiration, a rallying cry, a universal theme of human experience we can all relate to. I work in collections, each with its own overarching message and distinct execution style. I draw upon my heavy conceptual background gained from a decade-long career as an Advertising Art Director to communicate through different combinations of mediums and materials. From whimsy to philosophical, the topics conveyed cultivate self reflection on the part of the viewer as we all try to become better versions of ourselves and uncover new perspectives.

I received my BFA from The University of Delaware in 2000. I passionately create from my home studio in Austin where I live with my husband and 2 boys.
