Do you remember the scene in Mary Poppins when Mary, Burt, and the children step into the sidewalk painting and suddenly enter another world? I often think that may have been one of the earliest influences on my art.

I paint with the hope that you might step into my work in the same way — to feel transported, to relive a beloved memory, or to experience a place with fresh wonder.

Although I began painting later in life, creativity has always been part of my story. My mother, an oil painter herself, first gave me a glimpse into the heart of creating. That foundation, paired with a lifetime of travel, living abroad, and a career as a jazz singer and actress, has shaped the emotional depth of my work. Each painting carries echoes of the places I’ve walked, the light I’ve chased, and the moments that have moved me.

My desire is simple: to bring the beauty of God’s creation into your space in a way that feels personal and alive. I consider it a privilege to continually grow as an artist and to share original, one-of-a-kind oil paintings that invite you not just to look — but to enter.

My work has been selected for exhibition in Laguna Beach, California, a meaningful milestone in my artistic journey.
