WELCOME!
Rooted in my faith in Jesus Christ, my work emerges from Scripture and prayer, shaped by a desire to offer viewers a place of stillness and encounter. Through oil on canvas, I seek to translate truth, grace, and compassion in ways that invite reflection, contemplation, and a deeper awareness of Christ’s presence.
About the Artist
Her formal artistic training began with the study of human anatomy at the Denver General Hospital School for X-Ray Technicians and continued with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Colorado Denver, concentrating on drawing, life drawing, and oil painting. Additional studies at the Rocky Mountain School of Art and Design, along with watercolor training under Betty Demauree, further shaped her foundation—techniques she still weaves into her oil paintings today.
Working exclusively in oils, she creates paintings that blend realism with impressionistic nuance. While portraits and the human figure are her primary focus, she occasionally turns to landscapes and florals, allowing these works to refresh her creativity and inform her approach to the human form.
Moments with Gramma
My story began in Valley City, North Dakota, where my grandparents played a formative role in my faith. In the early mornings, I would wake to find my Gramma praying—often for her grandchildren, including me. Those moments left a quiet, lasting imprint.
Years later, when a neighbor prayed with me to accept the Lord, Gramma wrote to say she had always prayed I would have neighbors who would lead me to Christ. Though my commitment came much later, those early roots had already been planted. I see now how time spent with my Gramma—her faith, her prayers, her presence—formed a foundation that continues to shape my life and my work today.
Foundations
As a new believer, I spent several years exploring Christian organizations that nurtured my faith. Bible Study Fellowship deepened my understanding of God’s Word, and Aglow introduced me to believers whose love for Jesus was inspiring. I later joined Calvary Castle Rock, connected to Pastor Chuck Smith’s ministry. These experiences, among others, laid a foundation for my spiritual growth and continue to shape the heart and intention behind my art.
Living My Journey
As a Christian artist, I seek to respond to the chaos of our world, offering each painting as a chance for reflection and encounter. My ideas often spring from Scripture, meaningful conversations, and encounters with people whose lives leave a mark. From the first brushstroke, I consider how the piece can communicate its message in a way that feels truthful, engaging, and hopeful.
Research and Scripture study are central to my process, ensuring that each work is grounded in accuracy and spiritual insight. While many influences shape an artist, the depth of my work has grown alongside the growth of my faith.
