I was born and raised in Little Rock, AR.  Drawing and painting are one of my earliest memories.  I received my Bachelor's in Fine Arts from the University of Central AR.  I am currently Owner, manager, and painting instructor at Painting with a Twist West Little Rock.  I am available for lessons and commissions.
​
In the past, my personal artwork has been heavily influenced by surrealism and street art. I am particularly interested in the surrealist concept of drawing dreams.  My artwork is an abstraction of my daydreams.  These works often consist of ambiguous expressionist environments, and include a female figure.  My work blends pure, classic forms of mark making with sporadic, gestural strokes to bring my fantasies to life.

More recently, I have been exploring landscapes and abstract florals. I love pushing myself to try different styles, while keeping the core of my artistic voice--blending abstract, gestural marks with more recognizable forms.
​
My husband and I have owned Painting with a Twist Little Rock for 11 years, and have worked with the company for 16 years. Through the studio we are able to share our love of creativity and art with others. We aim to make a seemingly intimidating medium accessible to beginners and artists of all skill levels.

Thank you for joining me on my journey of turning chaos into color!
