I paint with acrylics on a variety of surfaces. My belief is that art is what makes a home more human. Art can enhance our lives, show our personalities, evoke thoughts and emotions, and improve our well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of this unpredictable and scary time of the Pandemic, I think we all are having a deeper appreciation of our homes. Our homes have become even more of our sanctuaries and refuge. It is a place where we want to feel safe, content, and comforted. I believe that meaningful art can help our feelings of well-being. It is my desire to bring value and meaning into your life with my paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing up in Saint Paul, Minnesota, I have always had a great curiosity and appreciation for art and design.
