In Studio
How I create in my in-home studio. Check this page out to see new exploration, fun pictures of me creating, working, and, doing what I do to make the art that I love.
What do I do?
I have been a stay at home Mom of 3 boys, and a Free lance Artist for over 11 years now.
I specialize in Oil, Acrylic and Fumage (smoke painting). I love to blend realism with Abstraction in portraits, wildlife, and landscapes.
I live in country by Belgrade, Montana and work in my at home studio overlooking the Bridger Mountains, Northwest of Bozeman, Montana.
Oil Painting
I started using oils in College at NDSU. I fell in love with the versatility of them, the rich colors, and flexibility I feel when using oils. The longer drying time is an added challenge since I work at home with my kids, so time is of the essence. I think I will continue to learn and grow with this medium. I believe I learn something new with each and every painting I make.
Acrylic Painting
I have not always been a fan of acrylic painting. This is a new found love, for many reasons, but first and foremost I tried it again for the time saving qualities it has. I enjoy the quickness of its drying, allowing me to paint many layers in one day. The colors fade a bit when they dry, but varnish allows me to bring them back to life.
Markets and Shows
You can find me at local markets and shows around the Gallatin Valley. Check my Instagram or Facebook for regular updates.
