About Me

I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. I started drawing when I was very young and it came very easily to me, I cannot imagine not being able to draw as it is so much a part of me. Through junior high and high school I kept drawing on pretty much any paper handed to me, but never took it too seriously. I ended up graduating from Westminster College in 2003 with a B.A. in Art and Education with a minor in Special Education. A year later I returned and received my M.Ed. in December of 2005.

At the same time I went back to work on my master’s degree. I started dabbling in chalk art and also decided that I wanted to learn how to watercolor. The watercolor paintings began to stack up and I began selling my art to help pay for my tuition. I have just been so overwhelmed with the response to my artwork. My art has been spread throughout the world. I enjoy hearing the many stories of what adventures my artistic creations have had. I have my art hanging everywhere from baby nurseries to a bomb shelter in Israel. I love to work in many mediums such as clay, graphite, oil pastels, pastels, glass, and various paints, but I still find watercolor and chalk art to be my favorites.

After teaching middle school for five years I opted to stay home with my children and my artwork. I fill my creative bucket by teaching private art lessons, working on my art, and love participating in local chalk art festivals.

I also love traveling. If I could live anywhere in the world I would have to go for Newport or Gleneden Beach, Oregon. Anyone who has been there will know why. I also pretend to be a runner and I am working towards a goal of completing 100 half marathons.

I hope to keep creating forever. I currently live in South Jordan, Utah with my husband Bryan and our four children.

I love creating art and I love it even more when others enjoy it too!
