About The Artist

I was born and raised in Southern Illinois. My love for art began at an early age, progressing through High School and into college. From there, I let my freestyle passion guide me. My inspirations are everywhere – from looking out my back door to the awesome beauty of the area in which we live. I love flowers, birds and the rich heritage that surrounds us, making the possibilities endless. My motto has always been, “Just look around, there is always something to paint”. My favorite mediums are acrylic on canvas and graphite. I will always have work available to purchase and I also do commissions – so if you would like to have your own special photo painted or drawn in graphite pencil (including portraits) please contact me.

 Thank you for checking in and sharing my passion for original art. I hope you will return soon. If you have any questions please contact me!
