About Me.
I am a fine artist working out of Austin, Texas. I have two bachelor’s degrees in painting and photography from Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
My specialties include portraiture in oil and acrylic paint as well as drawing and illustration in ink, marker and graphite. I am a mother of two highly imaginative kids and work hard to make time for their creative endeavors as well as my own. I am passionate about making connections with people through my work and making art accessible to everyone.
My creativity is a vessel for connection. I believe that every artists’ statement is “I am”, and through the act of looking, the viewer replies, “I see you”. I see art as a reflection or window into a particular way of being. A record, transcending time and space. Drawing inspiration from religious iconography, mythology and surrealism, I seek to build a series that explores a mythos of mind while developing my own visual language.
Art is transcendental. I shift into that other world when I create. With each visit, I bring new stones of insight and passion, new building blocks to raise up my Temple of Self. There is a foundation built of memory and experience, floors planked and tiled with guidance and lessons from artistic parents, teachers and friends. The walls are framed with knowledge and constructed stone by stone, slowly containing Self like home. And my art acts as the windows, allowing you to peer in and catch glimpses of all that I am and as you peer in, I see a small part of you. It is here we meet. It is here we share each other.
