About Me

I am a Michigan-based artist that has been working in multiple mediums since 2002. However, in the past few years I have fallen hopelessly in love with watercolor. My pieces can be found in personal collections in the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Inspired by the bright colors of nostalgia and the stark background of my Midwestern home, I focus on the beauty of everyday scenes.

Working with bright colors and strong shadows helps me to react to the world around me – without a filter.

Gram has been gone two years now and I miss her like crazy. Just a reminder of what a total bad ass she was!

Learning how to use #procreate! Thank you @james_julier for the awesome tutorials- even if I have to continuously rewind and play at half speed 🤦🏻‍♀️ one day I’ll go full speed ahead!
My #ocd is exposed when my press on nails fall off. I’ve been embarrassed for most of my life about this. I don’t know why I do it other than anxiety and fear(?) over something I can’t place. It’s easier for me to hide my in
My #ocd is exposed when my press on nails fall off. I’ve been embarrassed for most of my life about this. I don’t know why I do it other than anxiety and fear(?) over something I can’t place. It’s easier for me to hide my intrusive thoughts, checking, etc. Can’t really hide the fact that my nail bed is bleeding while I’m leading a workshop 😖😫 I am only sharing to help others maybe feel less alone? #nailbiting #fidget #ocdawareness #ocdproblems #ocdrecovery

I taught a class about neurographic art at work this afternoon as part of our Active Aging program for residents. We chatted while we painted our grounding rocks and made our art projects. I loved seeing everyone happy and enjoying their afternoon, so I started my own. The idea is that it can help you work through something that you are currently dealing with or going through as well as past trauma/issues. We decided to write down what we need to work through on the back of the paper and then think about it while we drew our initial lines. I put down that this was the 2nd birthday without Allison. It’s the 2nd birthday without the midnight text that she never forgot. Sometimes I wonder that if I had been a better friend or more insistent on helping her, she might still be here. Logically I know this isn’t really how it works and have reassured people I love of this very thing. ANYWAY. Neurographic art is very helpful and I found it to be cathartic. Interested in coming up with a way to theoretically release these feelings like a paper lantern (without actually doing that because they are very unsafe.) Burning doesn’t feel right. #suicidepreventionawareness #mentalhealthmatters #addiction #grief #griefjourney
