I’m a Colorado Springs native with a lifelong love for art. In 2017, a friend encouraged me to join Victor Celebrates the Arts (VCTA). That first year, I struggled to finish a single painting—but I did it, and to my surprise, it sold! Even more surprising? My mom bought it. 

The encouragement from fellow artists and event organizers inspired me to keep going. Since then, I’ve participated in VCTA every year, winning a handful of prizes and selling pieces to people I’ve never met—which still amazes me!

I’m continually exploring my style and learning through trial and error, grateful for the desire to create and the talent God has given me. Now that I’m an empty nester, I’m excited to devote more time to capturing the beauty of God’s creation and sharing joy through art. Here’s to many more years of growth and creativity!
