Meet the Artist

My path to becoming a professional artist wasn’t a straight line. I grew up with a brush in my hand, taking classes at the Glassell School of Art as a child and continuing my art studies until I was 18. But as I entered a high-pressure career in the marketing agency world, my creative side took a back seat for more than a decade.

In 2014, I found my way back to painting by studying under award-winning artist Salli Babbitt, a decision that fundamentally changed my life. What started as a simple after-work art class to release stress quickly reignited a lifelong passion. And by 2016, I knew it was time for a change. I took a leap of faith, left my agency career, and a few months later opened my first studio in Sawyer Yards.

Today, my art is a reflection of my life in Houston: energetic, layered and deeply personal. I balance my time in the studio with my roles as a wife, a mom of two boys, and a public relations freelancer. I’ve always been a creative person—as both a writer and an artist—and I love how my life informs the stories I tell through painting.

Whether I am drawing inspiration from growing up along the Gulf Coast or from my travels with family and friends, my goal is always the same: to create soulful, nature-inspired pieces that capture the restorative feeling of the outdoors and make your house feel like a home.
