Oil & Acrylic Paintings

I grew up on the Central Coast of California surrounded by beautiful landscapes and wildlife. As a child I drew on everything and for everyone. For instance, drawing horses and flowers in ink pen on napkins for waitresses at restaurants. In high school I started painting in acrylic and oils. I still have my first three paintings. At 18 I was commissioned to paint my first mural! An exterior mural, 40' x 9' on the side of a house in Santa Maria, California. Since then, mural painting has been my favorite! On a study abroad trip to Paris and London, I studied photography which has greatly influenced my creativity. In 2010, I started my career as a union Plumber doing a five year apprenticeship program. After I became a journeyman Plumber I had my baby girl and in 2018 our new little family moved to Longmont, Colorado and I'm in LOVE! There is such diverse culture and art here in the Denver-Metro areas. I have already restarted my art career here, painting many pet and people portraits along with a mural project in Longmont. I mostly paint murals and create commission pieces for art patrons using all professional paints and materials. My paintings are detailed, full of meaning and use vivid complementary colors!
