nestled in the rolling hills of Bell Buckle, Tennessee! It’s horse country and an hour’s drive from Nashville.

I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, taking art lessons at the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Cincinnati Art Academy Honors Program in high school. Then I earned my degree from the College of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning at the University of Cincinnati, where I studied foundations in Graphic Design, Life Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Fabric Arts, Ceramics, Sculpture and Art History.

When I graduated, I taught Middle School Art for a couple years, then worked for a national Ad Agency and did graphic design and illustration for Fortune 500 companies. When my husband graduated from The Ohio State University, we moved to Pennsylvania where we raised our son and daughter in Lancaster, PA, only an hour from Philadelphia. During those years, I worked for a small book publisher designing and illustrating, freelanced, taught art part-time at a private school, then opened my own little gallery and teaching studio, and created lots of commissioned art work.

I’ve studied with some of the best contemporary painters in the country— in oils, portraiture, landscapes, still life, and watercolor.

I’ve also studied Surface Pattern Design with Bonnie Christine’s Immersion, as well as how to design historical patterns with Barbel Dressler in Repertoire.

My style leans towards timeless, classic fashion and home decor, sometimes a little more modern and sometimes more nostalgic. My background in art history also informs my choices.

Please reach out to me with any questions and I look forward to hearing from you!
