Beach and Coastal Themed Art

This colorful collection captures the bright, vibrant colors often found in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Bold acrylics paired with repurposed materials such as salvaged wood, wire and metal scraps create an exciting marriage of industry and art. Whether you are a beach lover or not, you will find something to love in this collection and find yourself longing for a day at the beach.

Commissions are always welcome, especially if you would like me to capture your own beach memory.

Flower Collection

If you like Flowers, you will love these whimsical, Environmentally Friendly Mixed Media pieces. 

This delightful collection celebrates color and texture and most pieces have been handcrafted from salvaged wood. Found Object Material such as wire, metal, nails, cans and bottle caps enhance every composition by adding depth and dimension. 

The liveliness of these mixed media pieces is heightened by my  deliberate and bold use of color. I am always inspired by vivid colors and hopes that they will uplift the viewer. 

Commissioned pieces are always welcomed and I will gladly work with you to design something uniquely special for your home.

Surrounding yourself with colorful art is easier than you think. These colorful 100% cotton t-shirts have been created from a line of paintings and prints I recently created to celebrate love, community and togetherness. They make wonderful gifts and some shirts come in both Ladies and Men styles. They provide a daily dose of happiness and joy. You can never have too many t-shirts. It's my special way of sending you a long distance hug!

the fresh stART art project

the fresh stART art project

As a visual artist, my mission is to find ways to use my art to build community and spread hope and love. The fresh stART art project is an example of this objective. For the last several years, I have worked with 30 strong, resilient women from around the country. When we first came together from afar, we were strangers. Over time, we shared our own stories of beginning again through the artwork we each made. From a shared desire to inspire and encourage others, the fresh stART artwork was born. This is one large work of mixed media art that reflects transformation, growth and second chances.
Heroes and Trash Bags

Heroes and Trash Bags

Those nurses who had to wear trash bags, work double shifts and isolate from their own families should make each of us want to do whatever we can to support and thank them. They inspired me to be a better person and find a way to use my own gifts to help others.

The Together While Apart Project's Thank You To Our Nurses Campaign

Having a daughter who is a nurse, a son who is in PA School and two nieces who are also nurses,  I am more acutely aware of how many healthcare professionals are struggling right now. Some are being neglected and poorly treated and the system they uphold has failed some of them. There are many groups of amazing people, such as teachers, frontline workers, working mothers and more who have also become heroes since 2020, as well as stretched too thin. I wish I could help them all. But where I can put my focus is on bringing greater appreciation to our national nurses through The Together While Apart Art Project.
