My Background

I teach, write, and play with all things art. In addition to snapping photos, I’m a mixed-media artist and showcase some of my work at local businesses. I hold a certification in art therapy and believe playful creation is pivotal to mental well-being. Ten percent of my art sales are donated to Advocates for Victims of Assault, and I’ve run free workshops for Mountain Mentors, Theater SilCo, and other community organizations. I teach at the Art Spot in Silverthorne, Colorado, but am happy to arrange in-home classes.

In addition to art, I’m an award-winning author and run writing workshops and offer editing services (be sure to scroll around the website). After raising three amazing kids, my husband and I can now be found hiking with our loveable pit bull, Yoshi.
