Artist's Statement
The Power Of Why
In 2019, I stood in a new house in a new city, unpacking boxes that held everything I owned. In that moment, I realized that the landscapes I had been photographing for years were not merely subjects; they were the places I had to leave behind. This recognition became the foundation of my artistic practice.
About The Work
As a mixed media and digital artist, my work is rooted in the intersection of nature, memory, and human experience. Through landscapes, botanicals, wildlife, and portraiture, I create pieces that carry a story, inviting viewers to engage with the narratives woven into each work.
My process begins with observation. I photograph the people, places, and creatures that inspire me, then digitally compose these images into a guiding vision. Each piece comes to life through a fusion of digital painting and traditional media, including oils, pastels, watercolor, and photographic layering. The final work is completed with a carefully chosen mount and frame—often antique or reimagined—to deepen the narrative each piece carries. I produce both original works and giclée prints, making these stories accessible to a range of collectors.
What began as experimentation has become a defining aspect of my process. By incorporating oils, chalks, and pastels, I create depth, movement, and atmosphere that reflect both classical influences and contemporary energy.
The result is work that feels both timeless and alive—where subject, setting, and story come together on the canvas.
As a Navy wife, I spent years relocating across the country, building a life that didn’t fit neatly on a résumé but instead accumulated something more lasting: an intimate relationship with place, impermanence, and the choices we make about what to hold onto. Each move sharpened my eye for what makes a landscape feel like home and what makes leaving it feel like loss. When my husband and I entered retirement, I finally had the space—and the urgency—to give full voice to what those years had taught me.
I serve collectors, businesses, hotels, and civic spaces seeking meaningful alternatives to mass-produced décor—environments where story, intention, and a sense of place matter. While viewers are often first drawn by the visual subject, many form a deeper connection through the narrative each piece carries. My goal is to create art that makes a space feel inhabited rather than simply decorated.
My work is created for those who value not only beauty but also meaning—collectors who want their spaces to reflect a life well-lived or a story worth holding onto.
