Meet the Artist

Frequently Asked Questions

How did your art journey begin?

I've been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil. Around age five or six, though, I fell in love with horses—and that's when things really took off. I was determined to make my sketches look real! Years later, horses are still one of my favorite subjects, though birds are a close second.

Did you study art in college?

No, actually. I earned both of my degrees in classical violin performance, and music is still a central focus of my career. But I always knew I would circle back to art and make it part of my professional life, too.

What is your 'why' as a visual artist?

There are many reasons, many of which I'm still discovering. But here are two:

Firstly—art brings me joy! There is this sort of breathless wonder that takes over me as I watch something come to life on the page. It's magical. I can't get enough of it.

Secondly, I draw and paint because of my faith. I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I believe God has planted divine seeds of creativity within each of us to accomplish good. I make art because it allows me to feel closer to my Creator, express gratitude, and hopefully add a little beauty to the world.

What mediums do you use?

Currently, I work primarily with colored pencils and watercolors. However, I have dreams of learning to paint with oils or acrylics.

Do you take commissions?

At the moment, no. But it's something I'm considering for later in 2026.
