About the Artist

Welcome to my website!
I am a colored pencil/pastel pencil artist.  My inspirations come from our everyday world and at times seeing art live where we might have passed it by.  I strive to breathe life and movement into my works regardless of whether the subject is human or an inanimate object.  I aim to invite the viewer to join me in my vision.
All of my works are created with the knowledge that my sister’s spirit is forever holding and guiding my hand.
