About
I was born and raised in Utah and have been scribbling since I was old enough to hold a pencil. In school I was in a perpetual state of trouble for drawing in my notebooks... usually during math class. I began formal watercolor lessons at age 13 and painted all the way through Brigham Young University, though I actually earned my bachelors degree in French and Art History. I later returned to school for a degree in Illustration.
I enjoy working with colored pencils, and digitally in Photoshop, Illustrator and Painter, but watercolor has always been my first love and medium of choice. When I don't have a paintbrush in my hand, I can usually be found cooking yummy vegetarian food or reading. I live with my husband in northern Utah, dividing my time between painting and teaching watercolor lessons... and cleaning the house, but that's really boring.
My greatest wish is to create images of beauty that will help people to feel happy and peaceful. When people look at my pictures I hope they will feel some of the joy I experienced while painting them.
Thank you for visiting my site. I hope you will enjoy my work.
