My Mission:

I create artwork that warms the heart and feeds the soul — for me, and for you.

I'm inspired by nature, beautiful interior design, and the works of the masters, both painters and pattern designers alike.

My Story:

I've been an artist my whole life, but decided to take it seriously in 2023 when our youngest was two. I set up a home studio, began to paint regularly, learned how to design patterns, and then started licensing my artwork.

It's kind of a wild ride but such an honor to build my art business alongside motherhood.

My Art:

Working primarily with oil and acrylic paints, I focus on capturing intricate details and subtle nuances in my subjects, with a focus on light, atmosphere, and color. I paint faces, places, and petals — portraits, landscapes, and florals that tell quiet stories and celebrate beauty.

My pattern designs often start as hand-painted motifs, which I then digitize to create seamless designs for various applications.

Where My Art Has Landed

From wall art to wallpaper and textiles, my work has been licensed by companies including Prestige Art & Art Trends, Loomwell, Kate and Laurel, and Carriage House Printery. A few of my pieces have also found a home on Target’s website.

I’m excited to be getting my work into local galleries, most recently exhibiting at the Springville Museum of Art’s 2025 Spring Salon.

Let's Work Together

I love partnering with customers, clients, and companies to bring ideas to life — whether that means a custom painting, a licensed design, or a meaningful collaboration.

If something in my work speaks to you and you'd like to collaborate on a project or commission, I’d be honored to chat. Just send me an email!

When I'm Not Creating:

When I’m not painting, designing, or filming, you’ll find me homeschooling my younger kids, baking something delicious (cookies or sourdough, depending on the day), out for a jog, lost in a book, watching our favorite shows, serving in my church, or soaking up the sweet chaos of family life.
