A lifelong painter, maker, creator. I’ve been tinkering, sewing, and generally making a happy mess since I could pick up a crayon. Currently living in Seattle with my husband and dog. I run The Painted Finch a business where I get to pour all my creative energy into making and selling my artwork.

I am inspired by the world around me. As a child we made a game of collecting found objects, feathers, or shiny bottle caps.  My pockets still have a pine cone, seashell or two. My work is a mix of what inspires me, and an expression of my heart.

Mainly self-taught I’ve taken a few workshops by some amazing teachers. My curiosity and love of Art  have lead me to some great communities and artists. They have inspired me to grow further in my own Art. It is truly a life long journey.
