I am a full-time artist living in Portland, OR. I like to get creative in all kinds of ways. I love to use my imagination, make music, write, and most of all… draw and paint! Interesting color combinations intrigue me. I strive to be free & spontaneous. Children’s art is some of my biggest inspiration. In addition to being creative, I spend lots of time in the water. You can find me swimming in the Columbia River most days of the week, all throughout the year, even in the winter, when the water gets just below 40°F! Nature and the beautiful creatures of this earth are big inspirations for me! It’s been a few years since teaching at Lucky Star and I’m so excited to be back!
