*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 painting 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 for 25 years now with daycare schools and pediatric dentist offices being some of my biggest clients.

*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.

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