I’m an impressionist oil painter drawn to the wonder and timeless beauty of the natural world.

For the past decade, I have worked as a professional artist, building a fine art practice rooted in places that have shaped my lived experience. These include the familiar woods and shorelines of Northern Michigan, as well as the canyons, mountains, and expansive vistas I’ve encountered while exploring America’s national parks. I work from my home studio in Northern Michigan, where I live with my husband, our three teenage boys, and our sweet pup.

Over time, my approach to landscape painting has moved beyond simple representation. It has grown into a contemplative practice that invites attentiveness to moments of awe, quiet presence, and deep connection. Rather than documenting a specific location, I seek to convey the felt experience of being there, such as the stillness of early light, the steady movement of water, or the enduring life that persists beneath the surface.

My paintings are shaped by memory and emotion, and by a deep gratitude for the beauty woven into everyday moments.

Painting is, for me, a response—an offering shaped by joy and reverence.

My faith is inseparable from the way I see the world and naturally informs my work. As I paint, I often meditate on passages that speak of creation’s praise, such as Psalm 96, which describes the earth rejoicing. If the natural world can express joy through wind and water, through growth and bloom, then I, too, can participate in that song through the act of painting.

While my work begins in personal reflection, it is ultimately meant to be shared. I hope these paintings invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and notice the beauty that surrounds you. Perhaps they will stir a treasured memory, offer a sense of calm, or provide a grounding moment of joy. My deepest hope is that my work brings peace into your space and gently points your heart back toward wonder.

Thanks for being here,
