My love for art and creativity stemmed from an upbringing deeply rooted in the natural world. Raised in a home without electricity, I had uninterrupted access to the forests of Northwest Montana, where the streams and mountains collided., My unwavering focus on these landscapes would become my art form.

​

I acquired a degree in Graphic Design from Montana State University and embarked on a full-time pursuit of painting and design.  In 2009, moving to Seattle opened up a world of possibilities to showcase my skills. Within a short time, I became the lead Producer of a Cascadia NW Arts and Music Festival, and the Curator for Gallery AXIS in Pioneer Square. I relished the opportunity to collaborate with artists and performers around the region. The process of building environments for a creative and dynamic experience is forever dear to my heart. 

In 2020, as in-person event production slowed, I pivoted my focus back to art and design. Today, you will find me painting landscapes of the world and the heart in my art studio and creating graphics at Golden Hour Design Studio.  I believe design is magic that can hold an intention. It's my mission to support good people looking to artfully find themselves within their brand and to play in the color-filled space of imagination.

Painting helps me make time for stillness. It's a relationship with the moment, enjoying my tools, breathing through each brushstroke, and experiencing color therapy.  Throughout the years the paintings have acted as a vehicle for self-discovery of the body, mind, spirit, and the natural world. My work usually is born in a series of 3 to 7 paintings at a time. The style and imagery are a reflection of the life I'm living.
