She participated in the East Austin Studio Tour each year from 2014-2017, has done numerous commissioned pieces and murals for private collectors, and has exhibited work in shows throughout Texas. In 2022 she led Lockhart, Texas’ first Summer Mural Program with Keep Lockhart Beautiful.

Artist Statement

Creating is a necessity for me. My love for nature and gardening comes through in my work, as does my obsession with color play. I am passionate about harnessing beauty from the world around me and hope that my depictions can also bring others joy. I work in oil paint and linocut printmaking, often merging the two. In the past few years I have delved into mural work. I am fascinated by the power of art on a larger scale and how it can transform a space and engage an audience.
