I paint primarily with oils although I’m not confined to them. My paintings are multilayered and textured. I love intimate spaces. Playing with light and color and the way they break things up visually is my passion. I love the woods because of the filtered light coming from all directions: more yellow here and bluer over there, like stained glass. I’m fascinated by the direction and pull the light creates, both inside a room with a window, or outside with the stained glass effect that I observe in nature.

I received a BFA from Brigham Young University in 1993 and have been painting ever since. I have done a lot of commissioned work as well as my creative work, and have paintings in private collections all over the country.
I live most of the year in rural Pennsylvania with my husband and children, but I spend a lot of time in Utah as well. I love to garden, cook, spend time with my family, and of course paint.
I want my paintings to be reverent and magical....a place where people can go and rest, to almost feel transported. I know it happens to me....I will be walking through a museum or gallery and a painting I see will literally transport me physically, electrically zing me. Something about the composition and the colors just strike the chord inside of me that lifts me to a different place, That is my goal. That is what I want to do for people.
