Dirty fingernails, happy heart!

Art is what I do. My mission is to bring joy and eccentric style into the lives of others. My art is for you if you love to surround yourself with vibrant delightful chaos and spontaneous doses of good humor. If you love the abundant feeling of an overgrown garden at the end of summer, my art is a good fit for you. If you love being just a little weird, funky, or contrary, then you are in the right place, my friend! If your cooking projects, craft or repair projects tend to look like a tornado came through the scene and you're thinking, "You know what? I'll clean this up later, this is genius time!" then call me, let's talk.

I work and live in Billings, MT with my husband and our two young children. Travel is important to me and I and always feel deeply inspired by the landscapes, cities, cuisine and people I find along the way. I keep a large garden and a small flock of hens, enjoying much of my life outside, skiing, hiking, fishing and taking photos as well. My connection with nature and creativity mirrors the lives of my family who came before me: farmers, ranchers, makers and entrepreneurs. I love getting messy and fully embrace the phrase, "dirty fingernails, happy heart."

Life brings bittersweet surprises, yet there's freedom in surrendering to it all, while creating your own conditions for finding success. I play with the duality of tight control vs. loose, free spirited work to make vibrant, exuberant paintings that dance in your room. Living wholeheartedly to me is about letting go of expectations while being aligned in our efforts.  Like a swinging pendulum, I invite you to enjoy the ride between the extremes  of life knowing that with every turn, you will always head back toward your center with great momentum.

I am available to consult with you and help you find the best piece to suit your life and help you visualize what this would look like in your home. Feel confident in your purchase by test driving some art over your sofa or mantle today!
