In my youth, I would spend my days riding through lush forests and expansive fields, carrying my sketchbook in my saddle. In those moments of rest beneath towering pines, while my faithful companion grazed nearby, I would sketch the beauty that surrounded me. This profound connection to the natural world paved the way for my artistic journey.
As an adult I had a burning desire to move to the American West. I started my journey learning about western and ranching culture. Trading my English saddle for western gear, I started on a journey learning about western and ranching culture. I found that visiting ranches to observe the work and lives of ranchers opened new avenues of inspiration for me.

I am seeking out images that have interesting light and shadows that help me build a watercolor that goes beyond a pretty image on paper. I work from my own photo captures for my watercolors, however, collaborating with others has created opportunities for variety and interest in my paintings.

This led me to my current project, which celebrates the women who embrace the ranching lifestyle, embodying the timeless values of the West. I have always felt women were under- represented as subjects in Western Art. My goal is to go beyond the more traditional views of women by depicting them working on their ranches. I want to capture their strength and resilience as well as reflecting their deep connection to the land in my paintings.

Through my art, I aim to share the beauty and rich tapestry of ranching life, inviting viewers to connect with the land and the creatures that inhabit it. I hope that my paintings convey the stories, emotions, and reverence I have for this way of life, honoring the traditions and capturing the essence of the ranching world.
