Mixed media artist preserving nature’s beauty. At the heart of my work is the belief that God is the original artist. My purpose is to preserve each petal or shell to retain its delicate detail so we can be reminded of the wonder outside our doors.
Keep a moment in nature forever
The Neighborhood Walk collection are literal works based on the litany of botanicals I collected on morning walks around my neighborhood. I wanted to highlight the beauty and the seasonality of every yard and park. Central Florida has so much diversity in the landscape - it’s a joy to show it off.

Inspiration is everywhere…
All of my artwork is made with hand-picked flowers, leaves, or shells.
From a grandmother’s garden to a bushel of oyster shells, I look for beauty anywhere I can find it.
