About

I’m a self-taught artist, and I honestly can’t remember a time when I wasn’t painting. Creating art has always been the most natural thing for me, and I feel incredibly lucky to have built a life around it. I’ve been fortunate to sell thousands of paintings to collectors and art lovers all over the world, each one inspired by my deep love of nature.

Observation is at the heart of my work. I’m most inspired by the soft glow of morning light and the golden hues of an afternoon sunset. Long walks in nature fuel my creativity—I take in the scents, the sounds, and the way light dances. These moments find their way into my paintings, where I bring to life trees, flowers, birds, waterscapes, landscapes, forest creatures, and whimsical insects like bees and butterflies.

I work with oil paint on stretched canvas, using a mix of heavy texture and delicate brushstrokes. Every color I use is hand-mixed from a limited palette of primary colors, giving my work a cohesive and natural feel. More than anything, I want my art to evoke a sense of bliss, calm, happiness, and nostalgia—a reminder of simple, beautiful moments.

I’ve been selling my work professionally since 2007, and my home base is the Franklin Farmers Market in Franklin, Tennessee. There, I offer original paintings, greeting cards, stationery, magnets, and more. When I’m not painting, I’m out exploring and photographing the beauty of Tennessee or spending time with my husband, three sons, four dogs, and my pig, Iris.
