”There is not one blade of grass,

there is no color in this world

that is not intended to make us rejoice.”  

- John Calvin

My paintings are an exploration of light, showing off how it moves across color, deepens shadow, and reveals beauty in the ordinary. I am especially drawn to the interplay of lavender and warm hues, where contrast creates drama and radiance.

The world around me stirs something intensely visual and deeply spiritual. I paint the things that touch my being — the relationships, forms, and light that speak of design and grace. Each piece is both an offering and an invitation: to slow down, to notice, and to be reminded of God's eternal qualities, reflected in his creation.

In addition to my pastel paintings, I am also the creator of Fur Sure, a whimsical book of imaginative pet names. Filled with creative themes, playful stories, and charming images, it celebrates the joy and personality our animal companions bring into our lives.

"Is it Cold Out Here, or is it Just Me?"


Juried into the Artspan "The Enduring Beauty of Winter Scenes" Collection 2026

I wanted to capture the sharp, breath-stealing cold I experienced that day—
when the air felt crystalline and the river lay still beneath a pale winter sky.
