About the Artist

“We all have a great gulf that divides us, and yet, we all are intrinsically alike. We all have our likes and dislikes, our dreams, desires, and flashes of emotion. What binds us together as humans is the same thing that tears us apart: our inner self. This is what I strive to reveal on canvas. If I can portray a feeling, an emotion, a depth of the soul; then I am happy. To exhibit that we are not alone in our inner self, that we also feel similar emotions and know the same experiences of life, and that we empathize… this is my desire.

So, enter into my paintings and connect with what you find there: yourself.”

Born into a family of musicians, photographers, and artists - art was always a constant and abundant influence. She received her first box of chalk at 4, and was always captivated by the remarkable works of art surrounding her. At 10 she was awarded an art scholarship to the Des Moines Iowa Art Center. After education and family and career life, she again was able to pursue art.

She has studied with many great artists: Charles Reid(wc), Veronica Potter(all arts), Mary Whyte(wc), Henry Yan(charcoal), Cathy Berry(oils), Michelle Dunaway(oils), Romel de la Torre(oils), and Michael Latala(charcoal/oils).
