ABOUT | mysite

I have always had a passion for art. I started out drawing horses at a very young age. Based on the positive feedback from my teachers, friends and my family I pursued an education in fine arts. I took painting classes, drawing courses in the summers. I painted my bedroom walls and any other surface I could find. I am a fine artist and a graphic designer. I work in the marketing department at an accounting firm. I often do work on commission to paint children's walls, create posters for my kids or design graphics on the side.

I studied fine art and design at Fontbonne University in St. Louis, MO. Victor Wang, Tim Liddy, Mark Douglas and Kat Connor were all excellent artists and instructors. I learned technique, composition and layout from my BFA with a concentration in graphic design. I was fortunate enough to spend a semester abroad in Florence, Italy at Studio Art Centers International in 1997. It was in Florence that I learned how to use a printing press, and other printmaking skills as well as jewelry design and silversmith and fresco painting in the old world style. After graduation I leaned on my graphic design skills to get my a job. I have worked in the business world in marketing and graphic design for over 16 years.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband Matt and children Zoey, Claire and Ronin. We have two cats Dali and Kit Kat Von D. I have a studio space at home in the basement where my children enjoy painting and being creative with mom. We are truly a family of artists!

Please contact me as I work on commission and often enjoy the challenge of additional design projects in my spare time.
