I am SO excited for Christmas, this time of year is always the happiest time of year. I love the extended holiday surrounded by family and celebrating the birth of Christ. No wonder it is such a happy time, every single year: Christ’s joy shines upon each of us as we look to him, recalling the true ‘reason for the season’! ♥

About the Artist

I’m an artist, author, and poet. My work is often shaped by lived experiences and by paying close attention to the world around me… nature, and the people who have helped shape my life.

I usually paint first, and the words come later. Painting has been the safest way I’ve found to be honest about things that are hard to say out loud, and over time I’ve noticed other people finding their own stories in the work too.

My paintings are meant to comfort, to feel like a presence rather than a statement, and to give space for each person to find their own meaning. The connection that happens there matters most to me.
