I have always loved animals. One of my earliest memories was sharing kibbles with Sia, my family's siamese cat. Naturally, after I discovered painting, I gravitated toward painting animals.

I strive to capture personalities and mood, using a vibrant palette and expressive lines. My animal portraits hang in private collections across the country. My cards are available at Ideal Pet Store in Seattle and will soon be on Etsy.

I am inspired by animals' extraordinary loving and their grace in living. I hope my portraits show that love and grace in their whimsical way. I dream of melding my writing and painting in children's books.

I live with an 88 pound pitbull mix and more cats that I care to divulge in public in an old farmhouse in South Seattle. In addition to painting, I also feed a feral cat colony and volunteer my time with local animal rescue groups.
