From Midwest sketches to East Coast art shows, my creative journey has been a lifelong exploration of color and curiosity.  After years spent raising my family, I've found a renewed home in the "quiet hours" of my studio, where I now dive deep into the worlds of soft pastels and watercolors. My work focuses on landscapes - not just as places, but as invitations to discover something new around every corner.  I am a self-paced student of the world, forever chasing the next visual story.
