My journey with painting has been a lifelong love found in high school then lost and then found again. With a background in photography (both wedding and commercial) and a degree in marketing/design, it's only natural that I would find my way back into the world of painting.

Having raised my two sons in Birmingham, Alabama, I took a brief stay due to my husband's career in Laguna Beach, California and Salt Lake City, Utah. Fortunately, I am now back home in Birmingham, Alabama full time and couldn't be happier.

One of my great loves which is reflected in my work is to mix modern abstract with the beauty of antiques. Each summer I travel through a part of France plein air painting capturing the beauty of the countryside and venturing through their many antique markets.

I do travel throughout the year around the country taking workshops with other artists in a forever journey of learning new tricks of the trade and advancing my style. I am thankful to have studied under several very accomplished and talented artists.

Every piece of art has its own story to tell. I strive to capture the world not as it appears, but as I imagine it should be perceived.

Thank you for visiting with me and I hope that you find something that inspires you.
