I have created art ever since I can remember. When I was six years old, I sculpted a teddy bear out of mud and my dad thought it was the best sculpture ever created! (At least that’s how I remember it.) That is when I started exploring art. I used to spend hours at the library with my mom. I always checked out books on how to draw. I would go home and draw everything out of those books.

​

I recognize that having encouragement in pursuing art and creativity affected me in such a positive way as a child. I want to encourage others, both children and adults who have lost their way, to find that creative dream in their hearts and pursue it.

I live with my husband, two dogs and one very spoiled cat in the beautiful and inspiring mountains of Idaho.
