About Me

Sparks of Soul – something you saw or experienced that moved you in some way (good or bad) and spoke to you on some deeply personal level.

This is where my Art comes from – a moment in time when something – a place, a feeling, a color, the stirrings of an idea – Sparked my Soul and made me pull out a blank canvas or piece of paper and create…..something.

Sometimes those sparks grew layers, legs, branches or wings. Sometimes they remained in abstract form. The power of the muse pulls me in many ways. Whether processing something deep like major life changes or the 4 heart attacks and lung cancer I've survived, seeking inspiration and empowerment, trying to catch and recreate a magical sight or idea, or just having fun pouring and blending colors - All of these creations spoke to me and moved thru my Soul at a particular point in time helping me evolve in some way.

As I see it, we are here to experience the depths, beauty and wonder of everything life has to offer – to have deep Soul reaching experiences for as long as we are blessed to have. As a lifelong artist to the core of my Soul, my gift is to interpret the moments that moved me, and the world as I see or desire it to be and share it with others with hopes that it will empower and Spark your Soul as well. Through my love of color, energetic sparkles and swirls, and bits of spiritual meanings and whimsical magic, my art and writings are a reflection of the Soul touching things that inspire me and bring me growth, healing and joy.

I have no idea where these Soul Sparks will take me next. But I do know it will be an exciting journey full of expansion if my sketchbooks, journals, and the abundant flow of ideas constantly flooding me have anything to say about it.

More About Me 

*I was born and raised in Plymouth Michigan, I am the oldest of 3 girls.

 *Art has always been a Soul passion of mine and I began taking private art lessons with a tutor when I was 5, as well as many other drawing and painting classes thru my school age years.

 *I attended the Columbus College of Art and Design on a half tuition scholarship (1990-91, ‘92-‘93)

 *Life took a big pivot in the middle of college when I got married and started a family. We lived in the Columbus/Lewis Center Ohio area.

 *I have 3 grown children -2 girls and boy - who are building incredible lives of their own and helping me with the business side of my art career in their spare time.

 *I began painting murals in our own home when my youngest son was a baby, and by word of mouth recommendations, began to build a creative business for myself.

 *My mural business is called Beyond the Canvas Murals LLC and I have painted murals across the country in private homes and businesses, with daycare schools and pediatric dentist offices being two of my biggest clients for almost 25 years. I also paint kitchen cabinets, refinish furniture and do light woodworking, renovations and carpentry.

 *You can find my mural work at Beyondthecanvasmurals.com and on social media under the same name.

 *I moved to Charlotte North Carolina in 2018 after 28 years in Ohio, an empty nest and an amicable divorce, to make a fresh start for myself, and lived there for 6 years before relocating back to Ohio in 2024.

 * I have survived 4 heart attacks (caused by SCAD - spontaneous coronary artery dissection) that left permanent damage to my heart, and most recently lung cancer requiring half my right lung to be removed. The toll on my physical health has me leaning away from the heavy physical labor of murals, wall and cabinet painting and working towards becoming a full time studio artist.
