My Story

Color has always been my first language. One of my earliest (and fondest) memories is carefully organizing my 64-pack of Crayola crayons—just so I could spend hours coloring with total focus and joy. That early love of color and creativity has shaped my life in the most meaningful ways.

For over 30 years, I’ve worked as a professional artist and teaching artist, sharing my passion for the arts with others. And for the past five years, I’ve been running a color consulting business that lights me up every day.

I feel so lucky to have built a life around the arts—where color leads the way, and I get to follow with heart and purpose. I look forward to connecting with you!

Let’s Talk Color Consulting

I love walking into a space and discovering the perfect palette to bring it to life. Together, we explore how color works—especially those tricky undertones—and use large samples to test ideas in real time.

My goal is to help you find the colors that truly work for your project, and to make the process feel fun, creative, and surprisingly easy.

I create custom paintings for you.

A commissioned work is a unique piece that fits perfectly into your home and according to your wishes. I love to paint pet portraits, custom landscapes and abstract works.

Workshops

I love creating meaningful experiences that invite people to tap into their inner artist through unique, soulful art workshops designed to inspire and uplift.
