I have been been a professional artist for over 20 years. After studying under a wonderful art mentor in Sedona, Arizona and receiving my degree, I sought out various acclaimed artists and instructors and began honing my fine art skills. 

Inspired by nature and animals, my primary focus remains steady in my thriving wildlife series and domestic animal portrait business. As I traveled the globe from Alaska to Africa for inspiration, my eye for composition and design combined with my love of color enables my to create rich and unique art pieces. My one of a kind style is a successful blend of contemporary and realism. I use a variety of materials to accomplish my works, but my methodology remains consistent. 

My art has been in a number of juried shows and shown in various galleries including in Santa Fe,NM. I have been featured in a variety of publications and television news programs for my artwork which include Phoenix Home and Garden, Images Magazine, Voyage Magazine, Scottsdale’s Foothills Focus, The Arizona Republic, PBS Horizon Arizona, Phoenix People, The Barking Beast San Diego and many local NBC, FOX and ABC news programs. I also am one of the co-founders of the ever growing “Art on the Wild Side” program at the Phoenix Zoo and works to fundraise with the Africa Foundation to build school kitchens in rural areas of Africa. I have many collectors both national and abroad. I reside in Central Phoenix, Arizona with my husband and a small group of rescue animals.
