ABOUT the ARTIST

I'm so glad you're here!

I’ve turned my lifelong hobby into an avenue for connection.

Now, I split my time between my β€œday job” and live painting since 2024. Like so many on social media, I fell in love with the idea. Unfortunately, I discovered it after I got married in 2023. I would have loved to have a painter at my own wedding… but I thought, I could totally do this, too!

I want to bring other lovely newlyweds the experience I missed out on. I am revitalized with the privilege of sharing my gifts with so many sweet couples. I can’t think of a better way to preserve your precious memories with your loved ones.

Making art has been my passion since childhood.

My childhood was enriched with art books of masters like Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse and Monet. I created my own flip-book-like animations with frame-by-frame sequences inspired by watching cartoons. My Saturday mornings started with Bob Ross paint (RIP) and his next snowy mountain cabin masterpiece. I sketched passengers on the train, patrons at the cafe, and specimens at museums.

While I am largely self-taught, I took classes throughout my schooling covering areas of traditional media, digital media, and even 3D sculpture/ceramics, and motion capture animation. I also supplemented my art journey with art intensives, workshops, and life figure drawing. I love surrounding myself with avenues for art, and other creatives - I am always learning something new!

Now I’m using vibrant color and a keen eye for detail to transform the most cherished memories into beautiful works of art. I have the privilege of evoking emotions - joy, astonishment, grief, and everything in between - with my handmade creations.

About Me...

I’m often found cuddling up with our cat, our 1-year-old daughter, and a cup of coffee with my spouse.

I will eat scalding hot ramen in any weather. My favorite part of the brownie is the corner piece (yes, I said it!). I’m a huge outdoorsy gal - camping, backpacking, hiking, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding. But I also love playing board games, and weightlifting, collecting handmade pottery (mugs especially).

My ideal vacation includes a trek into the mountains to an alpine lake at sunrise, followed by a barbecue lunch and ice cream.

When I’m not creating, I’m a hospital physical therapist by day.

Thank You

FOR CHOOSING REAL ARTISTS

Traditional 2D media (paint, pencil, etc) survives generations through artists who create handmade artwork.

With the ever-growing popularity of AI, cookie-cutter templates, and cheap shortcuts, it’s more important more than ever to preserve and honor art forms that reminds us of who we are - human.

Because you are more than just a generic design, or a filter.

And there is nothing like fostering the connection and joy (or tears) shared over art. You receive a one-of-a-kind artwork, and I get to say we shared a one-of-a-kind moment. That stays and grows with me as an artist.

Clients like you who invest in live painting keep the heart, soul, and fire of performance art alive in the event industry. Your business keeps independent artists creating, small businesses running, and families and their communities flourishing.

So thank you.
