About Me

I am an American artist, writer, and photographer currently living in the UK with my husband and dogs. Painting is my greatest passion in life, and I create works across multiple mediums, including oil paint, watercolor, and pen and ink. For many years, I mostly painted landscapes, seascapes, and cloudscapes, but in recent times I have also started working on imaginative paintings of animals and nature.
