I am an artist & illustrator in Upstate NY. I am inspired by nature and my life in the country. My upbringing around animals, nature, water and the mountains influences my work immensely. I am an old soul and enjoy the music, cars and fashions of yesteryear. You can often see nostalgic influences in my work. I paint the things I love and paint the beauty around me.

I work mostly in watercolors, but I dabble in acrylic, mixed media and lino printing. When I'm not painting I enjoy becoming inspired by nature and foraging. I love hiking & adventures that have no purpose or exact destination. I love thrift shopping and I'm often inspired by vintage & retro items. I love traveling and often bring my 1905 Korona field camera to develop wetplates (tintypes) of my travels. I also love gardening and spending time with my little rugrats.
