Welcome to my Art Portfolio!

I am an Elementary Art Teacher and Artist living in Northwest Arkansas. I live with my lovely husband, Matt, and my 7 fur children. My daily life consists of teaching, painting, and doting on my 5 beautiful dogs. My girls are Aslan (11 yo Husky), Atari (10 yo Husky), and Amelia (2 yo Huskador). Kody (9 yo Cocker) and Bernie (4 mo Mix) are my boys. I also have two cats, that acknowledge me occasionally.
I have a M.Ed. in Education and a BFA in Art Education. I have loved the art-making process since I was a wee one, and have only recently gained the confidence to share my work with the world. I am inspired by the littles I teach and the very chaotic and furry world I live in.

“If you don’t have a dog–at least one–there is not necessarily anything wrong with you, but there may be something wrong with your life.”
― Vincent van Gogh
