A LITTLE ABOUT ME...
I'M A FULL-TIME ARTIST!
It's true! Dreams really do come true ~ I’m proof of it! I'm living my dream and so honored to be able to bring color, light, texture, and FUN into the lives of others.
​My love for art began at a very early age. My paternal grandfather was a self-taught portrait artist and my father is also a very gifted artist. Both of my parents were potters and always encouraged my creativity.
When I was 16, with little guidance and an abundance of ambition I started painting murals in my family home and knew then that my calling was to be a professional artist.
In 1996, I graduated from Texas State University (San Marcos, TX) with a BFA and began a career in graphic design. I started my own design company just after college, branding my own businesses in the health and wellness industry and that of many throughout the years.
Throughout my fine art career I tinkered with many abstract techniques until I created the textural weave style (in 2004) that I continue to use and develop today. I am also an illustrator and have a large collection of whimsical drawings and greeting cards for any occasion.
​I was approached by Ao5 Gallery in Austin, Texas to show my work and from September 2012 until June 2016 was a featured artist. Currently I show my work throughout the Texas Hill Country.
In January of 2009 I wrote my first novel, Feel the Burn, available on www.barnesandnoble.com.
I live in beautiful Johnson City, Texas with my son and extra large Labradoodle.
