I am a Mixed Media, Abstract Artist based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Originally from Fountain County, IN, I hold a degree in Interior Design from Indiana State University (Go Trees!). Though my career path began in design, it ultimately led me to floral design, where working with flowers every day sparked a deep passion for painting. This creative journey reignited my love for art, allowing me to explore new mediums and expressions.
One of the most profound aspects of my work has been creating memorials for loved ones who have passed. These pieces bring an emotional depth to my art that I never expected, adding a personal and healing element to my creative process. Each piece reflects not only my artistic vision but also the stories and memories of those who are no longer with us.

I began creating Memorial Paintings after experiencing the profound loss of a dear friend, followed by the passing of my father from COVID-19 in 2020.

I began creating Memorial Paintings after experiencing the profound loss of a dear friend, followed by the passing of my father from COVID-19 in 2020. This deeply personal journey inspired me to incorporate a loved one’s ashes into my artwork, offering comfort to those who remain while also creating a beautiful, meaningful piece for any space.
My "Oceans of Memories" series captures majestic seascapes as a reminder of the ebb and flow of life. These paintings symbolize the importance of cherishing memories along life’s journey, with a loved one’s ashes carefully dispersed and sealed within the sands of the beach area.
In addition to my series, I create customized Memorial Paintings, which can incorporate personal elements that reflect the essence of the individual’s life. Consultations are free, and I am honored to help preserve their memory through this special form of art.
My Inspiration

My Inspiration
Much of my inspiration comes from the beauty of nature. I observe the world around me and then infuse my own interpretation into each piece. The vivid colors you’ll notice first in my work are an essential part of my creative process. I enjoy using bright, vibrant hues to capture attention and evoke emotion, drawing viewers in and inviting them to experience the energy and life of my art.
