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.

Poooooosaaayyyyy

Sometimes I feel like a sack of potatoes 🥔 but then I remember this picture exists.

Sundays are for edibles and dreamy lights. #sunday #galaxylights

Trying my hand at making my own stamps and really wanted to try to make a pomegranate. Anyone interested in some wonky pomme notecards???
