This is always a big question - but the simplest answer is: I’m me. I’m a wife, mom, daughter, sister and friend. I’m an artist, a creative, and a bit of a free spirit at heart. Every experience - the beautiful, the messy, the in-between - has shaped who I am and how I see the world.

Corporate America taught me structure and responsibility - but it also reminded me that life is far too short to spend it confined to the 9-5 grind. I learned that freedom, presence and the power of expression are where I come alive. Art became the place I could finally exhale - a space to explore, express, and be fully myself. Together, they’ve made me who I am today - an artist committed to growth, authenticity, and light.

My greatest achievement will always be being a proud mom. This new chapter of watching them step into adulthood has been the most rewarding part of life - it’s like discovering two new best friends I get to keep forever. My husband and our doggies complete the circle, keeping life full of laughter, love and a true sense of what home means.

When I’m not painting, you’ll probably find me and the hubby traveling in our RV exploring new places that spark inspiration, wandering through nature, or enjoying a cozy day curled up with my doggies at home with a good cup of tea. I love any moment that lets me slow down and really take life in.

Finding out who we truly are is a journey in itself - one that unfolds in layers, through love, loss, joy and self-discovery. My art has become both my mirror and my guide through that process.

Each painting, each brushstroke, helps me see myself more clearly - and my hope is that it invites you to do the same. To pause, to breathe, and to ask yourself, “Who am I?” - not in titles or roles, but in the quiet truth of your own heart.

Thank you for being here and for letting my work be part of your story. Take a look around, explore the Gallery, and maybe find a piece that feels like home.

I’ll share more of my story in my Blog - so stay tuned! Also, Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or if you would like to connect.

So, Who Am I?
