I am an artist from the beautiful state Oregon, where I live with my husband. Painting and drawing have been a huge part of my life for as long I've known how to hold a pencil! I started with drawing, and around high school moved into painting with oils. I've taken a few art classes here and there, but for the most part it just comes naturally for me, and is part of how God made me. My inspiration comes from the magnificent things that God has already done in creation, so I try to let my art be a reflection of His beauty.
