Whether sitting for hours drawing Disney’s Arial and Belle as a young child or creating online experiences as an adult, art has alway been an integral part of my life. As I’ve gotten older, the clarity of who I truly am and what brings me joy has brought forth a new found confidence and vision for what motivates and excites me in both my professional and personal world.

Early in the mornings and on the weekends you will find me drinking coffee, watching or taking photos of birds and painting. It is my way of decompressing while still being creative in a non-digital way. A few years ago I even decided to go outside of my comfort zone and explore selling my art. You can find my work in various homes across the midwest or for sell at the Weston Coffee Roastery in Weston, MO. You can also view my artwork on my pinterest page; Paused Paintings. Besides drawing, I also enjoy singing, playing guitar and planning family road vacations with my husband and two boys and am “mom” to two Russian Siberian cats, Nikolai and Mischa.

I love a good dad joke or meme, have never known a stranger and find personality tests extremely fascinating. For a “freaky accurate” description of my own, the defender, personality type click here. 🙂
