After some reflection, I've decided to bring everything together in one place.

I'll be closing this page and sharing my artwork, exhibitions, behind-the-scenes moments, and creative journey through my personal profile moving forward.

Art has always been about connection for me, and I'd love to continue that conversation there.

Thank you for your support, encouragement, and for following along over the years. It means more than you know.

I hope to see you on my personal profile as this journey continues.

P.S. CURRENTLY, I'm excited to announce two pieces were selected to be a part of the Earth & Ocean exhibition at the Union Street Gallery

I had such a beautiful time in Siesta Key. I love getting lost in the beauty of our world and really needed this time to play before heading into a busy season of creating art.

Only a few more days! Thank you for having my work this month.

If any piece keeps stirring your heart and popping in your mind, it might just be for you.

All work will be taken down January 13th. It's the last chance to make it yours and help support orphans in Africa through Mercy's Reach, as well as donations toward the Crete community!

Beloved just got her finishing touches. Embodying joy, trusting and resting in His grace and mercy.

As I celebrated with many other wonderful artists last weekend, I realized that "Dreaming in Light" was the perfect painting to honor our next step.

This portrait reminds me that there’s more beyond what we see. She knows what waits ahead is greater than what we leave behind.

Here's to the future. Let's make it good!
