hi!!! thanks a lot for stopping by. here’s a very brief snippet of how painting became part of my life story.

i grew up in a little town in northwest texas and was blessed with a diverse group of friends, the opportunity to have a fabulous piano teacher, relatives all around, solid spiritual mentors, and more. in short, i had plenty of room to GROW in ways so necessary to nurture a creative soul.

as a little girl, i loved to learn, write, pretend, be alone, “speak” foreign languages, decorate, collect pretty pencils and papers, sing and draw. as i got older, piano & school began to take more & more of my attention, and before i knew it, some of those little girl interests were packed away in “yesterday”.

fast forward to today…i’m a 34 year old mom, wife, and singer/song-writer who in the last few years has begun to unpack “yesterday’s” suitcase. i started making primitive folk art dolls in 2006 which, i can see now, set the stage just perfectly for drawing and painting to wake up inside of me. mixed media folk art painting has taken me by surprise and i am thrilled about it. i have dreams about combining music and art. we’ll see how God leads.

a few of my favorite things ♥♥♥ paint on my hands, pretty paper, vintage “junk” canvases, ribbons & trims, acrylic paints, music ministry, watercolor collage, encouragement from my little wild things, fabric, creating in the wee hours of the morning, music (folk, old R&B, classical, good ol’ gospel, jazz), vintage decor.

i love what i do. my sole desire is for my art to be His instrument in the lives of others.
