Colorful, dynamic, and full of layered detail. That's how I describe both my art and my life. Using a spectrum of paint techniques, overlapping shapes and flowing lines, I aim to fill each piece with energy and emotion. With a BFA in Visual Design from UMass Dartmouth (formerly SMU) and years of experience in the decorative arts, I love transforming spaces through murals, custom canvases, and decorative finishes.

A lifelong resident of Seekonk, I began my business in the early 1990s creating custom wall designs and children's murals throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Each commissioned project is a collaboration. I enjoy blending my creativity with my clients' vision to bring one-of-a-kind spaces to life.

Specializing in children's murals and nature inspired scenes, I also create custom wall canvases as well as portraits of children and pets in acrylic and watercolor. My recent gallery collections explore painting on unique surfaces, such as textured wood, metal, and stucco.

I have been exhibiting these new works at several regional art association galleries, including the Pawtucket Arts Collaborative, the Plymouth Center for the Arts, and South Coast Artists, where I am an active member. Originals are available through my website and Instagram.

Outside the studio, I embrace the beauty of art and nature with my family, especially with my husband and two grandchildren.
