I've always loved art and making things beautiful.  After working as a hairstylist and make-up artist for many years, I stepped away to explore a different form of artistry and one of my lifelong passions, painting. I've been painting commissions for four years and am a premier artist at Gallery 4 in downtown Fargo. 

I use mostly heavy bodied acrylic paints and a palette knife to create my colorful and highly textured artwork.  I also work with alcohol ink paints.

Growing up in North Dakota and spending summers in Minnesota, there has been no shortage of natural beauty to inspire me.  I like to pull color inspiration from our beautiful sunsets and my perennial garden.
