About the Artist
My artwork has always been inspired by the great outdoors. As a girl who grew up in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, people are often surprised by my deep connection to nature. I owe this, in part, to all the nature documentaries I would watch (and still do!), along with the vacations my family would take every summer. Whether driving a few hours to nearby state parks, or taking long treks to National Parks, I was seeing new and amazing things every year. Sometimes we camped on our trips, and sometimes we stayed in cabins, but no matter what we were doing or where we were, I was always in awe of nature’s beauty and the amazing wildlife we saw along the way!

In all my work, my goal is to help others see nature the way I see it: beautiful, intricate, mesmerizing, even a touch magical. I believe artwork plays a significant role in the conservation world, and in these times we desperately need more people who care about our planet and all the creatures that call it home. So please take a look at my various works, as they are the reflections of my passion for the natural world. If any of my pieces speak to you, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to purchase an original or print. Enjoy!
I picked up a paintbrush seriously for the first time in 2017. Although I spent my childhood sketching dragons and mystical creatures, I’ve never actually taken a “real” art class in my life. The first several paintings I made were definitely not masterpieces, but as the months and years progressed, my art improved tremendously. I was able to understand how acrylic paint worked, blended, and dried, how to create different colors and textures, and how to get that realistic look I’d been striving for. In 2021, I upgraded my camera, and began taking all my own reference photos of wildlife and birds. I wanted my artwork to be profoundly connected to the real-life experiences that have inspired them from the very beginning. In early 2022, I began experimenting with colored pencils and graphite, and found them to be very different, but very enjoyable mediums. I now regularly bounce between the three mediums, and enjoy their unique challenges and benefits.
