Hi, thanks for visiting my site! A little about me: I’m a nurse living in Chicago but I have a bachelor’s degree in Art History from UIUC and worked as a graphic designer for many years. I am finally able to pursue my own artistic vision and the result has been paintings described as “Rousseau-like”: dreamy, spiritual and strange. I combine my love of medieval art, stained glass, art nouveau and patterns into a style that is intricate, colorful and unique. I hope you enjoy my work and will continue to follow me as my art evolves.
