I am passionate about human emotion, sacrifice, pain and love. I paint portraits that depict these feelings. Every face has a story to tell, and every story is different. My greatest motivation is my daughter. She helps me see the world from different perspectives, giving me the inspiration and delight I need to be creative. She is my muse! Juggling my schedule of being a working mother, plus working on commissioned pieces is where I make the time to paint my daughter. Her ever-changing facial expressions along with her mischievous personality proves to me that I will have the perfect portrait model for many years to come.
