I am a native Utahn raised in Salt Lake City. I now live in the beautiful red rocks of St. George, Utah. I am a multi-medium artist because I like the looks of all mediums. Alcohol Ink, Watercolor, Acrylic, Oils, Graphite and Pastel. My favorite is Alcohol Ink because of its bold color, fast drying and fun to see the chemistry working in real time.

My passion for art began as a child. Learning the fundamentals from my uncle who would sit with my cousin and I teaching us how to draw boxes and cylinders and how to shade and do shadows. I loved my Jr. High School and High School art classes. Then came life and my daughters.

I always wanted to learn more. A young mother with three daughters I enrolled at Salt Lake Community College. I received my associate degree in Illustration and Design.

I moved to Logan; Utah got employment at a sock manufacture as a designer. I was designing and creating socks. I promoted to Design department manager and sales manager of the custom program. After eight years I moved back to Salt Lake City and married my husband. His job took him to Wyoming for eighteen months. I stepped away from art for a while.

When we moved back to Utah, we both wanted sunshine and warmth. We put the pin in the map for St. George and in October 2017 moved here to the beautiful red rocks.

I decided to take out the paints and start creating for myself just to decompress. I was not confident enough to show anyone my paintings except my husband. His encouragement and support gave me more confidence with every new painting.

My passion for art ignited once again. I took out the paints, practiced with different mediums, different techniques, I was doing what I loved and what makes my heart happy. A new way to decompress.

I have taught art classes here in St George using Alcohol Ink, Watercolor and Acrylic.

I enjoy the beauty of nature the world has to offer. My artwork influenced by animals, natures landscape and oceans. Small or large, dandelions in the wind to ocean waves crashing and wild horses galloping below large red cliffs. That is what makes me happy.

I love the work of Georgia O’Keefe and the influence of American Modernism and the contemporary style of Gerardo Labarca.
