Artist Statement A self-proclaimed nature-lover, adventurer, and artist, I have chosen to follow where my dreams may take me. As a young girl living among the Appalachian Mountains I was always comfortable with spending time outdoors. When my family moved to Virginia, I learned to appreciate art and natural history via the wealth of museums located in the metropolitan Washington, DC area. I studied fine arts at the Rhode Island School of Design and later returned to the DC area to pursue a rewarding career in exhibition design. I ended up working for the museums that so inspired me earlier in life. After extensive travel abroad, I decided to pursue an earlier dream of working in the fine arts. I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada with my husband and four cats. A percentage of all my art sales goes towards organizations that promote environmental conservation.
