About Me

“Since graduating from Oakland University, I’ve channeled my creativity into crafting unique pottery and indoor-outdoor paintings. My work stems from a personal need to find decorative pieces that resonate with my aesthetic, and I’ve discovered many others share this desire. My pottery adds a touch of personalized charm to kitchens and homes, while my evolving outdoor paintings, particularly welcome signs featuring custom pet portraits, bring a warm, inviting feel to any space. I’m now expanding my outdoor repertoire to include larger scenic landscapes, aiming to create immersive atmospheres for porches and decks.”

Art brings us joy, it inspires us, and reminds us of a special moment in time.

I am creating unique decor that can be personalized to you, by way of a portrait of your pets or you can commission me. Tell me more about the things you like or the colors you are working with in your spaces. I am often looking for something I want for my home and it inspires me to create and now I would love to create that special thing for you.

I enjoy the challenge of capuring beautiful and unique art.

But at the same time, the small or little moments that in time will only be a memory can be memorized by the right painting or pottery crafted by me.
