Meet the Artist!
I have always enjoyed art from a very young age and am beyond grateful that enjoyment has followed me into adulthood. I am a self-taught freelance artist who specializes in portraiture. My skills have been developed through years of practice and study, which is never-ending. I am relatively new to my "real" career as an artist, but I am learning more by the day. I am beyond grateful for all of the support I receive!
I love being presented with new opportunities to grow my skill sets, so don't hesitate to reach out to me directly!
A little more about me...
In August 2025, my husband and I moved from Columbia, Missouri, to Buckeye, Arizona. We are incredibly blessed for the working opportunity that my husband was offered and for becoming a part of a new and wonderful community.
After my mother passed away in 2023, I took a long pause from art. I had not picked up a paintbrush since then until November 2025. Now it's time for me to redevelop myself as an artist.
I am by no means an influencer, creator, or anything of the sort. Seriously, you shouldn't do most of the things I do. I am simply an artist who wants to do art, and maybe use art to pay my bills. I think that'd be cool.
I absolutely love seeing art works produced by other people and would love to support other artists as well. Feel free to reach out with your artist info so I can see your creations too!
I cannot thank everyone enough for the support that I am shown. It means the world to me!
Tribute to my Mother
My mother passed away 3/22/23. I was lucky enough to have had a wonderful mom that made sure I knew she was proud of me. She always supported my pursuit of art and I know that she'd want me to continue. She was my best friend and greatest support. I will forever be thankful to have known and loved her.

What I Do...
I make art! As a commission-based artist, I primarily draw and paint portraits. I predominantly work with graphite and acrylic paint, but am constantly exploring and expanding my artistic skillset. However, I also explore other artistic ideas presented to me by clients for commission as well. I began selling prints of my original works in 2023, and hope that in doing so I'm making my art more accessible.
I have been doing art professionally since I was 16 years old. My love for art began very young. As an adolescent who struggled with my mental health, I found art to be an effective escape. When I finally felt comfortable enough to show my art to others, I realized the impact that it has on those around me. It helped me realize I was not alone and influenced me to get the help I needed. It also provided a gateway to allow me to help others who were going through similar struggles.
My art then developed into portraiture. I love exploring the individuality of people. After being asked frequently to draw specific people, I decided to begin doing commission work and sold my first commission for $5! I've since begun learning the real worth of art, and have had many opportunities to connect with clients on a personal level. I've done vibrant pet portraits, wedding portraits, memorial portraits, and so much more.
The impact that art can make has always been something I've enjoyed witnessing and being a part of.
