The Aqua canvas
I paint pretty things, take photos of everything, and write about all the feelings.
I’m a lover of all things creative. wife to the “Life of the party”, and Momma to two Rad, Small-ish Kids. Enneagram 2, ENFP. i wake early and watch birds.
I’d like to paint the way a bird sings.

Art
Painting is a meditation and form of therapy for me. I use all of the mediums: acrylic paint and inks, watercolor and gouache, oil pastels, graphite, charcoal, soft pastels, and the list grows. My style ever changing, is intuitive and expressive. I sometimes feel it within myself, the itch to paint, until it screams to get out.
writing
Words. Thoughts. Feelings. These are all in abundance for me. I refuse to believe that one should just “tell a calm story”. In my blog, I write about my journey through joy, grief, postpartum depression, anxiety, and finding the silver linings. It is my creative goal to combine the paintings, the photos, the journey; in words.
Photographs
Collecting moments, not things; a mantra, I embrace. I photograph families in my portrait studio and backyard. I also document the lives of my children through photographs. Memory keeping is where I started, and it doesn’t need the frills of a 12x12 inch binder, full of the latest stickers. It just needs to tell the story.
