My grandmother painted and really inspired me to pursue art. I fell in love with painting in high school, and studied fine arts with a concentration in painting for several years at Indiana University Southeast. I spent  about ten years working as a floral designer, letting the colors, textures, and lines influence my work. Over the years my work has become increasingly abstracted and layered, which is really exciting and challenging. I love trying to communicate emotions and reactions, whether they be intense or fleeting. Collage is probably my favorite medium, I get to use my gut and instinct to collect and create my materials and then slow down and really pay attention to how the pieces interact.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me, I love hearing from other art enthusiasts.
