My Full Story

My Full Story

For 35 years, I've worked as a holistic hairdresser — celebrating natural beauty in my clients while nurturing my own artistic journey as a self-taught painter and mixed media artist.

I once dreamed of art school. Life had other plans. And honestly, the path it gave me instead has been a more customized education — in art technique, yes, but also in the business of making and selling beautiful things.

My years behind the salon chair taught me to see beauty in authentic, unforced forms. That philosophy flows directly into my artwork — semi-abstract interpretations of wildflowers, landscapes, and organic forms that explore the wild, untamed aspects of nature. Working in mixed media, I'm drawn to the interplay of line, texture, and form.

My work is rooted in faith and shaped by the belief that beauty is one of the ways we find our way back to ourselves. It isn't always peaceful — sometimes it's a little wild, a little grief-soaked. But that's the point. The natural world holds both, and so does the art that comes from it. I make pieces for the walls of real lives — complicated, beautiful, worth pausing for.

My education has been unconventional — workshops, experimentation, years of practice, and a stubborn refusal to stop learning. It's given me something a curriculum can't: a voice that's fully my own.
