I was born and raised in Eastern Pennsylvania where we raised two wonderful daughters. In the beginning of 2023, my husband and I relocated to sunny Florida to build our dream home. Having a mom who loved to paint and do all things crafty, she passed that love along to me. When our girls were little, I always tried to find fun activities to do with them. One day, I was shopping in our local craft store and picked up a painting magazine with an adorable painted Halloween wreath. I bought the magazine and all the paints and supplies. It brought me such joy that I kept looking for more designs to paint and never stopped! Eventually, as I grew more confident in my painting, I started to create my own designs. My first design was published in 2015. Since that time, I have taught both locally and at national conventions, and published many more designs for magazines and e-zines. I am very proud to be a DecoArt Helping Artist as well as a Dynasty Brand Specialist for Dynasty Brush. One of my greatest personal achievements was earning my CDA and my Master Stroke certification from the Society of Decorative Painters. Having recently moved south, I am looking forward to setting up my brand-new studio in our new home and creating many new designs.
