Hi!

Growing up in Germany and Switzerland I started drawing and painting at a very young age. The earliest I can remember putting a brush on canvas was an oil painting of a field with tree at age five (this piece is actually still on my brother's wall to this day). I currently work on commission basis as a freelance artist.

My favorite subject has always been nature--landscapes, flora, and birds. I would spend hours of my childhood years drawing and painting. Most of my nature ideas come from hikes in the woods and outdoor field-trips.

My amazing life journey however took my art in a direction I didn't anticipate and my business grew in ways I never imagined.  I married a US Army officer, obtained a BS in business and administration from Mount Saint Mary College in NY, and gave birth to wonderful little girl.  As a result of this path, I've enjoyed huge popularity from military peers who want to capture in paint their memories of the many places they've called home. 

I've completed commissions from all over the country, from the East to the West coast.  I enjoy what I do and I believe my work shows that.  My hope is that this in turn brings happiness to your home.
