Hi there, and welcome to my little corner of the web!
Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved creating—whether it was drawing, imagining little characters, or dreaming up new products. Inspired by my mother, who ran her own business as a musician, I always knew I wanted to follow a creative path and build something of my own one day.
Life has taken me on a winding journey to get here, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Today, I’m a proud mom of two amazing kids and a fluffy husky daughter named Nukka. I live in Olathe, Kansas, surrounded by a loving, supportive partner and family who cheer me on every step of the way.
Alongside managing and teaching at a locally owned paint-and-sip studio, I spend my time creating artwork and commissioned pieces that bring joy to others. Drawing and painting are my happy place, and I especially love bringing animals to life with their quirky, whimsical expressions and all the little details that make them unique.
I hope my artwork makes you smile as much as I love creating it, and I look forward to sharing more of my world with you!
