As a child I was encouraged to explore, appreciate, and enjoy art through many different mediums. In my journey I have dabbled in paint, clay, stone, pastel, and now wool! How exciting it is to keep exploring new things.

My inspiration stems from the beauty of Pennsylvania and from my roots growing up in North Dakota and Minnesota where I was blessed to be surrounded by the wide open sky and fields, clear lakes, and lush woodlands.

Some of my most treasured art encounters have been in local community art organizations and the experiences shared with many amazing artists, students, and teachers over the years.
