A Life Shaped by Art
I’ve been drawing since I was a little girl, finding peace in a pencil line and wonder in a blank page. When I was seventeen, I won second place at the state fair for a carving I’d made—an early reminder that creativity is worth chasing.
Over the years, art remained my quiet companion. I raised a family, worked, and lived fully—but that pull to create never left me. So, after sixty, I decided to follow it boldly and earn my associate degree in graphic design.
Now, I bring together a lifetime of experience with modern tools and techniques, blending the warmth of traditional artistry with the clarity of digital design. I believe creativity doesn’t retire—it evolves. My goal is simple: to create meaningful, lasting work that reflects both heart and heritage.
