Hello and welcome!
I find joy in creating custom watercolors, especially when capturing a story, a personality, or simply a beautiful moment. I focus on custom portraits, hand lettering, illustration for children, and other custom requests. In addition to painting custom watercolors, I illustrate for a children’s magazine and illustrate for other freelance projects.
I am trained in painting and printmaking from Tyler School of Art (Rome, Italy) and Michigan State University, where I received a BFA in Studio Art. I also hold a teaching credential in Studio Art for Pre-K – 12 from Mills College, Oakland, CA, where I competed my graduate studies.
I enjoy art in many capacities in my free time – knitting, photography, reading, scheming up new projects, and crafting with natural materials.
Most of all, I love spending time with my twin daughters and husband. Together, we enjoy exploring, getting messy outdoors, hiking, biking, camping, and canoeing.
