I have been painting on and off for over fifteen years - the past five years I have been painting full time. Creating art is how I understand the world. It is also how I learn more about myself. A wise artist and dear friend once said to me that when we find art we love, we feel more like ourselves. It does seem as though the right painting can hit one at the very core. It is my hope that one (or more) of my paintings will do that for you!

It is my heartfelt desire to make the best possible art I can. I have found that a full time commitment to making art has changed my level of accomplishment. As long as I can keep selling art, I will keep creating it and getting better.

I am inspired by my surroundings. My husband and I currently live in the desert near Joshua Tree, California. I also have opened a second etsy.com shop called "jackrabbit junction." This is where you can find my paintings of the desert wildlife.

I hope you come back to visit again soon!
