Growing up in rural Idaho, migrating to the gorgeous forested lakes of Minnesota, and returning to the beautiful mountainous treasure valley, set the foundation for my love of exploration and travel. The colors of the world, the inspiration something as simple as a light breeze can bring, the awe and wonder of the wide spectrum of colors a sunset displays. This is what inspires me to my core. I find myself an optimist, bright and cheery by the very nature of my soul.

I bring out that nature through acrylics and the whimsical stylings found throughout my art. My eyes fill with wonder at the world around me and my desire to one day travel this amazing planet. I want to explore everything I can and bring that to life in my paintings. My art is meant to capture more than just a picture. It’s meant to capture a moment, an emotion and a reaction. My goal, to bring joy to those around me. I want to inspire, encourage and better those who I cross paths with.
