Art has always been an important part of my life. I received a BFA in oil painting from WSU in 1996 then went on to work at UW designing, coding and maintaining web sites for the Evans School of Public Affairs.

When my first child arrived, I left that job to become a full-time mother and mostly neglected art in favor of the whirl of family life. It wasn’t until my oldest was in middle school that I began to paint again.

At that point, I started experimenting with acrylics. They offered many of the things I love about oils as well as some fun new possibilities. I love taking advantage of these to create vibrant works of art full of light, color, and texture.

I love creating art that is fun and beautiful and sometimes thought-provoking. I hope you enjoy my work and thank you for sharing this journey with me.
