In addition to photography, I'm an oil painter and a fiber artist. I can’t get enough of making things with my hands, whether it’s painting or sewing/wool embroidery. Oil painting has given me the drive to want to create again after losing that passion in the midst of Covid. Having tried many mediums like watercolor, gouache, acrylic, linocut printing and drawing, I really believe that art is all about playing and letting your inner child take the reins. I’ve made it a point to work on something creative every single day even if it's for ten minutes. Currently, my painting technique is a loose impressionist style, and I mainly paint landscapes. Occasionally, a song will inspire me to paint something different and that switch up is a great way to keep my work fresh. My photography style leans more toward candid & documentary, which is a perfect way to capture couples and families as they are authentically. I began this journey of chasing the arts for two reasons; one, to keep me sane and let out creativity that feels like it’s literally bursting inside of me, and two, to show my children that making time for your passions is crucial to a happy and fulfilled life. I want to set an example for them to live life passionately and unapologetically. If you’ve made it this far, you deserve to learn some of the fun stuff too. I’m a homeschooling mother of two, a book worm, a bread maker, and a hardcore thrifter. And obviously a painter. I could eat potatoes in any way, shape or form and I watch the same three shows before bed every night. I’m heavily inspired by Scottish and Irish landscapes and my dream is to travel there one day. Thanks for taking the time to learn about me and I hope my work makes you feel all of the things.
