I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. I have had a lifelong love for Alaska, animals, and art. I rediscovered my love of art as a young mother. As I watched my boys create it rekindled my own longing for freedom and expression. I am a self taught, intuitive, process based artist. I reside in Anchorage with my two boys, and two dogs. 

I begin each of my paintings with a stream of conscious journaling layer, and then a thick layer of intuitive colors and marks where I PLAY. I try to create from the same freedom my boys experience and follow whatever thoughts and desires come into my heart. These marks become the animals that move across my canvas.

I often think of my painting process as similar to animal tracking. It is an incredible journey where I discover stories and connections I never thought I would experience. As with our lives, I never know where the tracks are going to lead, but the path always reveals a story, and a journey to a wilder, freer place inside myself. I follow my intuition as the paintings lead me on a journey that reveals animal guides and a visual map of my soul’s desires. I believe art is always trying to tell a story, inspire, challenge, and wake us up. I hope my art evokes this yearning, and inspires your dreams and connection to something wilder inside yourself too. 

I’d love to hear from you, talk about commissions and answer questions, so feel free to email me anytime!  You can also find me on Instagram and Facebook to see paintings in process and follow whats going on in my studio.
