I am an author, an illustrator, impressionistic oil painter and art teacher living in south Austin with my husband and two sweet little children.

Illustration is a great delight of mine. I love to narrate life's moments, mostly the ones that are sweet and pure. However, I have been experimenting with complicated moments in motherhood. Either way, I simply love to use art to express and explore my thoughts and emotions in a way that is relatable and accessible to others, especially children. 

My absolute joy is to paint flowers from life in my home studio. I prefer painting from life, rather than a photograph because it gives me the opportunity to arrange the florals in interesting color combinations, and I also know that I have a limited time to paint before the flowers wither.

My goal is to create art that brings life and joy to the viewer. Making art is an act of worship and the process comes from a place of love, delight and enjoyment. I love to experiment with different techniques and color palettes. Ultimately, my art is a gift from God to be a gift to others.
