About Me
jack of all trades, master of some
My artistic practice expresses the whimsy and beauty of nature through the use of color and mark making in drawings and paintings. My tendency toward experimentation and chagrin for monotony makes my body of work, much like nature, ever changing and diverse. Though eclectic, my art shows mastery of several traditional artistic disciplines; among them are gouache and oil painting, drawing, and color theory.
Since graduating from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design, I have been able to illustrate and design bespoke patterns for three Art Novels with Bond & Grace, a women owned publishing company.
In addition to illustrating, I have worked as an interior designer and a private studio art teacher.
I’m a native Michigander and grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan, always outside in our overgrown backyard climbing our mulberry tree or at the beach swimming. The bigger the waves the better.
While away at U of M, in addition to art school I pursued my love of music extracurricularly- I was in the marching band as a piccolo player, & sang in and music directed an a cappella group.
These days in sunny Austin Texas, my down time consists of hanging out with my beloved cat Bailey, dog Gemma and partner Joey, thrifting, watching reality TV, and singing.
